To hold the position for a labile hydroxyl group and to direct a regioselective deprotonation, the Si 2 Me 5 group is introduced in the diene component 3 , from which the antibiotic rac ‐rabelomycin ( 4 ) is accessible through cycloaddition and subsequent photooxygenation. This procedure emphasizes the usefulness of the pentamethylsilyllithium 2 , readily prepared from disilane 1 , for the synthesis of tertiary alcohols.
