The<unk>  is the organic oxidation of alkyl silanes into alcohols with peroxides. The research groups of<unk>  and<unk>  developed procedures for this reaction in parallel to one another .  It is especially useful since it allows alcohols to be masked as much more resilient silanes through a synthesis, before stereospecific removal.  The reactions are often grouped together since they are mechanistically similar and perform the same transformation, there is no clear choice between them and it is often decided by trying both.  An example of this is shown in a synthesise of two different carbasugars each synthesis using one of the methods.
