The formation of alkoxysilanes from the interaction of linear and cyclic thiosilanes and disilthianes with oxygen heterocyclic rings
Abstract
Ethylene oxide, propene oxide, cyclohexene oxide, trimethylene oxide, and tetrahydrofuran react with a variety of linear and cyclic silicon–sulphur compounds to produce a range of monomeric and polymeric alkoxysilanes. β-Propiolactone undergoes alkyl–oxygen fission to insert into silicon–sulphur bonds.
