Abstract

Abstract The combination of Cp 2 TiCl 2 and n BuLi provides an effective catalyst for alcoholysis of the model silanes n-HexSiH 3, PhMeSiH 2, Ph 2 SiH 2 and PhMe 2 SiH by ethanol, isopropanol, t-butyl alcohol and phenol. Increasing the steric bulk of the substituents on either the alcohol or the silane generally requires longer reaction periods and/or increasing temperature. All SiH bonds are converted to SiOEt groups by ethanol ...
