The compound (Me3Si)3CSiMe2O2CR and But3SiO2CCF3, in which there is serious steric hidrance to nucleophilic attack at silicon, react with 0.20M-NaOMe in MeOH to give the corresponding silanols, (Me3Si)3CSiMe2OH and But2SiOH; i.e., exclusive acyl-oxygen fission occurs rather than the normal silicon-oxygen fission.With both trifluoroacetates the reaction is complete within ca. 1 min at room temperature.For the (Me3Si)3CSiMe2O2CR species the reactivity sequence is R = CF3 > C6H3(NO2)2-3,5 > CH2Cl > C6H4NO2-p > Me > Ph.
