Silyl groups are of great importance for protection of a hydroxy group, 1 and site-selective silylation of polyols has frequently been used in organic synthesis. Since usual silylation conditions always effect selective protection of the less hindered hydroxy group, 2 inside selective silylation of a 1, 2-alkanediol generally requires multistep transformations. For example, a 2-siloxy-1-alkanol can be prepared from the corresponding diol through esterification of the 1-OH group, silylation of the 2-OH group, and hydrolysis of the ester moiety (Scheme 1). In the present paper, we describe a novel method for one-pot silylation of the internal hydroxy group of a 1, 2-alkanediol. There are several reports concerning inside selective protection of 1, 2-alkanediols by benzyl ethers, 3 tert-butyl ethers, 4 methoxymethyl ethers, 5 or benzoates. 6 It is noteworthy that all of these examples involve regioselective cleavage of five-membered intermediates, namely, cyclic acetals, ortho esters, or phospholanes. On the other hand, in relation to the chemistry of 1-oxa-2-silacyclopentane derivatives described previously, 7 we became intrigued by ring-cleavage reactions of cyclic silyl ethers induced by nucleophiles. We envisioned that treatment of a 1, 3-dioxa-2-silacyclopentane derivative with a nucleophile might effect regioselective ring cleavage to give the corresponding 2-siloxy-1-alkanol. 8Since five-membered cyclic silyl ethers easily undergo hydrolysis by silica gel column chromatography, 9 it was desired to carry out both the preparation and ring cleavage reaction of these ethers in one pot. The conventional methods for silylation of 1, 2-alkanediols by using dialkylsilyl dichloride10 or ditriflate11 and amines are unsuitable for this purpose because the resulting ammonium salt would serve as a proton donor. We found that the reaction of 1, 2-hexanediol with 1 equiv of butyllithium followed by di-tert-butylchlorosilane in THF affords the desired cyclic silyl ether with the evolution of hydrogen. Treatment of the solution
