CARBON-SILICON BOND CLEAVAGE OF ORGANOTRIALKOXYSILANES AND ORGANOSILATRANES WITH m-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID AND N-BROMOSUCCINIMIDE. NEW ROUTE TO PHENOLS, PRIMARY ALCOHOLS AND BROMIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1981.243

Alkyl- and aryltriethoxysilanes undergo oxidative carbon-silicon bond cleavage smoothly with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) to afford the corresponding alcohols.Silatranes similarly gave alcohols and bromides with MCPBA and N-bromosuccinimide, respectively.
