Electrophile induced reactions of medium ring vinyl- and 1,2-epoxy-silanes and related compounds
Abstract
Deuterium labelling studies confirm extensive trans-annular participation in acidolysis, acetylation and brominolysis of 1,2-epoxy-1-trimethylsilylcyclooctane and (E)-1-trimethylsilylcyclooctene, and require revision of previous mechanistic proposals.
