We show that 1M aqueous HCl/THF or NaBH<sub>4</sub>/DMF allows for demercurative ring-opening of cyclic organomercurial synthons into secondary silanol products bearing terminal alkenes. We had previously demonstrated that primary allylic silanols are readily transformed into cyclic organomercurials using Hg(OTf)<sub>2</sub>/NaHCO<sub>3</sub> in THF. Overall, this amounts to a facile two-step protocol for the rearrangement of primary allylic silanol substrates. Computational investigations sugge ...[more]
