Bistrimethylsilylperoxide 1 reacts with 2-benzothiazolylalkyllithiums 3 leading to alkylbenzothiazoles 2, and to benzothiazolylalkyl silyl ethers 4.The reacton of 1 with 3 leading to 2 represents the first example of demethylation of 1.The reaction of 2-benzothiazolyllithium 2g with 1 leads mainly to 2-hydroxybenzothiazole 2h.

The influence of different bases on the cleavage of silicium-carbon bonds in aryl- and heteroaryltrimethylsilanes is investigated in the presence of benzaldehyde as electrophilic scavenger for the aryl and heteroaryl anions formed in this process.A reactivity gradation of the various basic catalysts employed is determined from the reactions with 2-(trimethylsilyl)benzothiazole (1).The increase of catalytic activity of the anions parallels that of their ion potential.Attack of the base at the Si atom is postulated as the first step in this reaction sequence, with subsequent dissociation of the pentacoordinated intermediate in the rate-determining step.The carbanion thus liberated rapidly reacts with benzaldehyde.In the differently substituted aryltrimethylsilanes 13, 13', and 13'' the dependency of aryl anion stability in the base-catalyzed carbodesilylation was investigated.The relative rates of reaction correlate with Hammett's ?-constants rather than with the corresponding aryl anion stabilities.
