Chemistry of silyl thioketones. Part 5. Synthesis and properties of alkyl α-silyl thioketones: a comparison with aryl derivatives
Abstract
t-Butyl and methyl trimethylsilyl thioketones have been synthesized, and the reactivity towards organometallic compounds, dienes, and oxidation, and the desilylation of the resulting adducts, have been investigated. Where possible, a comparison with aryl trimethylsilyl thioketones has been made.
