Triethylborane, BEt3, can act as a 1,2-hydroborating reagent towards alkyn-1-ylsilanes, depending on the nature of the silane. A mechanism is proposed invoking hydrogen transfer from the β-carbon of one ethyl group, quite different from the 1,2-hydroboration mechanism using tri-n-propylborane, BnPr3. The structure of the products has been confirmed by comparison with that obtained using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 9-BBN, as a well established 1,2-hydroborating reagent. All products have been characterized by a consistent set of NMR data (1H, 11B, 13C and 29Si NMR). The molecular structure of (Z)-1-dichlorosilyl-1-[9- (9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl)]-2-phenylethene has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
Base cleavage of R-SiMen(OMe)3-n bonds (R m-ClC6H4CH2, PhC, or Cl2CH) and alkoxy exchange in RSiMen(OMe)3-n (R = m-ClC6H4CH2)

The rates of cleavage of R-SiMen(OMe)3-n bonds (n = 0-3) in NaOMe-MeOH have been measured for R = (i) -ClC6H4CH2, (ii) Ph, and (iii) Cl2CH.The relative reactivities as n is varied in the sequence 3, 2, 1, 0 within each series are: (i) 1,7.2, 2.7, 0.13; (ii) 1, 27, 24, 5.5; (iii) 1, 38, 93, 29.These reactivity variations are discussed in terms of opposition between the rate-enhancing polar effects of the OMe groups and a unusual type of steric affect which arises on introduction of OMe in place of Me.The rates of replacement of one OMe group of m-ClC6H4CH2Men(OMe)3-n by an OEt group in EtOH containing a base have also been measured; in this case the rates rise progressively with the value of n, the relative reactivities for n = 2,1, and 0 being 1, 4.4, and 27, respectively.
