Abstract

Abstract Alkenyltrifluorosilanes are readily oxidized by one equivalent of MCPBA in DMF even at− 50 C to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds via cleavage of the carbon silicon bond. With three equivalent of MCPBA a concomitant cleavage of the carbon carbon bond occurs. A plausible mechanism of these new types of oxidation has been discussed. Oxidation with DABCO· 2H 2 O 2 has also been described.
