Abstract

Silyl ethers are of great importance and widely applicable materials for the synthesis of elastomers,[1a] coatings,[1b] fibers,[1c] and biomedical materials,[1d] besides for reagents [1e] and protecting groups for alcohols [1f] in organic synthesis. Generally, silyl ethers have been synthesized through the reactions of chlorosilanes [2] or disilazanes [3] with alcohols in the presence of a base such as pyridine. However, chlorosilanes are often not ...
