THE SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALISED SILYLTRIFLATES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(84)85193-1

The cleavage of R2SiXY (R = alkyl, phenyl; X = H, Cl, Y = α-Np, Ph, Cl, H) by triflic acid is selective, leading to new difunctional silyltriflates, R2SiXOTf, with the relative ease of cleavage of Si-Y being, α-Np > Ph > Cl > H >> Me, Et, Bu^t.
