Abstract

Abstract The reaction of sodium trichloroacetate with various organosilicon hydrides in 1, 2- dimethoxyethane was investigated and the products, α-triorganosilyldichloromethanes, were formed in yields of 20–50%. The relative rate constants of these hydrosilanes in such insertion reactions of dichlorocarbene were determined by means of competition reactions. The relative reactivities of a series of alkyl substituted hydrosilanes correlate well with the ...
