THE INTERACTION OF ELECTROPHILIC SILANES (Me3SiX, X= ClO4, I, CF3SO3, Br, Cl) WITH NUCLEOPHILES. THE NATURE OF SILYLATION MIXTURES IN SOLUTION.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)98309-6

Silanes, Me3SiX, and Nucleophiles, Nu, form 1:1 salts, Me3SiNu(1+)*X(1-) in solution.The effect of both nucleophile and silane on salt formation has been studied, and the implications for the design of more efficient silylation mixtures are discussed.
