Highly reactive oligosilyltriflates—synthesis, structure and rearrangement†
Abstract
The novel branched oligosilyltriflates of formula [TfO(Me3Si)2Si]2E (2a–d)
[E = 0 (2a), SiMe2
(2b), GeMe2
(2c), SiMe2–SiMe2
(2d)] and [TfO(Me3Si)2SiSiMe2]3SiMe (9) have been prepared by the protodesilylation of [Ph(Me3Si)2Si]2E (1a–c), [H(Me3Si)2Si]2E (5d) and [Ph(Me3Si)2SiSiMe2]3SiMe (8) using
