Abstract
Various organotrifluorosilanes react with trimethylamine-N-oxide without catalyst to give the corresponding alcohols in high yields under mild conditions. Stereospecific nature of the reaction is suggestive of the involvment of intramolecular 1,2-organic-group migration from hypercoordinate silicon to oxygen.
