Direct conversion of acylsilanes to esters mediated by iron (III) and nitrate ions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087169

Acylsilanes, RC(O)SiMe₃ (R = C₆H₅, p-MeOC₆H₄ and C₅H₁₁), can be converted into their corresponding carboxylic acids, when water is used as solvent, and esters when alcohol is used as solvent. This oxidation is mediated by iron (III) ions in 20-24 h or nitric acid diluted in alcohol in 2-10 h at room temperature.
