Oxidatively assisted nucleophilic substitution of organosilicon iodides
Abstract
The iodides (Me3Si)3CSiMe2I, (Me3Si)3CSiPh2I, and But3SiL react with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to give the hydroxides (Me3Si)3CSiMe2OH, (Me3Si)2C(SiPh2Me)(SiMe2OH), and But3SiOH, respectively in MeOH (Me3Si)3CSiPh2I suggests the participation of silico-cationic intermediates.
