The synthesis of bench‐stable α,α‐bis(trimethylsilyl)toluenes and tris(trimethylsilyl)methane is described and their use in stereoselective Peterson olefinations has been achieved with a wide substrate scope. Product stereoselectivity was poor with carbonyl electrophiles (E/Z ∼1:1 to 4:1) though this was significantly improved by employing the corresponding substituted N‐benzylideneaniline (up to 99:1)
