Abstract
The activated Me2SO reagent [Me2SO–(COCl)2, ‘Swern reagent’] oxidises the trimethylsilyl ethers of primary and secondary alcohols directly to the corresponding carbonyl compound. Useful selectivity is possible where competing ether groups possess large differences of steric hindrance. Dimethyl-t-butylsilyl ethers are unaffected by this reagent.
