Abstract

Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Inst it ute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02 139. Received December 15, I969 trialkylsilyl substituents have been found to activate CH bonds of alkanes in the B position toward insertion of dichlorocarbene. The reaction Me3MCH2CH2CH3+ PhHgCC12Br+ MesMCH;-CH (CC12H) CH3+ PhHgBr (M= Sn and Si) is typical. A consideration of product yields in 36 such ...
