Abstract

(2-Pyridyldimethylsilyl)methyl lithium was found to react with organic bromides, aldehydes, ketones, and hydrosilanes in good to excellent yields. The resultant adducts were further oxidized with H₂O₂/KF to give the corresponding alcohols in excellent yields. Thus, this two-step transformation provides an efficient method for hydroxymethylation.
