48 h gave the saturated silanes 21,23, and 25 in greater than 90 % yields. Exceptionally high diastereoselectivities (> 500: 1) were noted in all cases. No desilylation was observed under these conditions. Table 2. Directed hydrogenation of y-hydroxyvinylsilanes.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
