Aromatization of 1-(trimethylsilyl)benzene 1,2-oxide (1) affords a mixture of o-(trimethylsilyl)phenol and phenol, the ratio of which is pH dependent.Aromatization of -1-(trimethylsilyl)benzene 1,2-oxide gave the following results. (1) At pH 1.1 or 7 all the deuterium label in o-(trimethylsilyl)phenol was para to the hydroxyl group. (2) At pH 1.1 the phenol formed was exclusively phenol, but at pH 7 it was 70-75percent phenol and 25-30percent phenol.The pathway of the aromatization reaction is discussed.
