The zinc chloride-catalyzed reaction of oxetane with methylthiotrimethylsilane yields (3-chloropropoxy)trimethylsilane (minor) and (3-methylthiopropoxy)trimethylsilane (major).Similar results have been obtained with 2-methyloxetane, 3,3-dimethyloxetane and 2,2-dimethyloxetane.These results have been interpreted in terms of competing SN1 and SN2 processes.
