The readily accessible hydroxymethylating reagent [dimethyl(phenylthiomethyl)silyl]methylmagnesium chloride (1c) adds to sugar aldehyde 2 with high stereoselectivity to give stable syn-adduct 3c, the C-Si bond of which is cleaved under mild oxidative conditions, resulting in the L-glycero-D-manno-heptopyranoside derivative 4.
