A new in situ preparation of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (3) is described: 3 is generated by a thermally induced rearrangement of (dimethylsilyl)methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (2), which can be prepared by reaction of (CH3)2Si(H)CH2OH (1) with (CF3SO2)2O.Starting with C6H5(CH3)Si(H)CH2OH (5), the derivative (methylphenylsilyl)methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (6) can be obtained by a similar method.Its thermally induced rearrangement leads to dimethylphenylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (7).The rearrangements 2 to 3 and 6 to 7 were found to be first-order reactions with half-lifes at 80 deg C of 0.75 and 1.7 h, respectively.
