We present a new ring-opening reaction of epoxides by pendant silanols, catalyzed by either Ph<sub>3</sub>C<sup>+</sup>BF<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> or BINOL-phosphoric acid. Silanol epoxides derived from <i>trans</i>-allylic alcohols, <i>cis</i>-allylic alcohols, <i>trans</i>-homoallylic alcohols, and <i>cis</i>-homoallylic alcohols were all compatible and gave products from either <i>endo</i>- or <i>exo</i>-ring opening. With silanol epoxides derived from 4-alkenyl silanols, an unusual rearrangem ...[more]
