Opening the silole ring: Efficient and specific cleavage of the endo-C(sp2)-Si bond with AcOH/ROH system†
Abstract
An efficient and specific cleavage of the endo-C(sp2)-Si bond of silole rings was developed. The stable silole ring was effectively opened in an unexpected regioselectivity by using an AcOH/ROH system, in which the AcOH behaved as a
