Protiodesilylation reactions of β- and γ-hydroxysilanes: Deuterium labeling and silicon-directed epoxide openings

Abstract Protiodesilylation reactions of β-hydroxysilanes are catalyzed by crown ether, can be used to introduce deuterium, and can be used to prepare silicon-free products of silicon-directed epoxide openings; similar reactions of γ-hydroxysilanes are possible.
