The Trifluoromethanesulfonates of Dimethylsilyl Ethers as Intermediates for Silicon Protective Groups

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00817591

The reaction of mesityldimethylsilyl ethers with CF3SO3H yields selectively mesitylene.The resulting Si-trifluormethanesulfonates were reacted with t-BuLi to give the corresponding t-BuMe2Si-ethers.Keywords: Alcohol protective groups; t-Butyldimethylsilyl ethers; Mesityldimethylsilyl ethers; Trifluormethanesulfonates.
