Cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate (CTAP) effects cis-hydroxylation of cyclic vinylsilanes smoothly under mild conditions both in aqueous and nonaqueous solvents. cis-1-Trimethylsilylcycloalkane-1,2-diols 7-12 were prepared in good yields. The oxidation occurs at 20 °C and takes a much shorter time in comparison with OsO4 oxidation reported in the literature.
