An "ylide mechanism" is proposed for the carbodesilylation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)pyridines with benzaldehyde.In contrast, 3- and 4-(trimethylsilyl)pyridines, react only in the presence of a base catalyst via pyridyl anions with electrophiles.The rates of the uncatalyzed carbodesilylation reactions of 4-substituted 2-(trimethylsilyl)pyridines 2 with benzaldehyde correlate very well with the resonance parameters of the substituents ?0R, whereas the rates of 5-substituted 2-(trimethylsilyl)pyridines 7 correlate with the inductive substituent parameters ?1 in the Taft equation.This is to our knowledge the first direct determination of the resonance parameters ?0R.Key Words: Pyridines, substituted 2-(trimethylsilyl)-, synthesis of, carbodesilylation of / Carbodesilylation / Rate constants
