Abstract

Mg-promoted reductive coupling of aromatic carbonyl compounds () with chlorosilanes, such as trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl:), 1, 2-bis (chlorodimethylsilyl) ethane () and 1, 5- dichlorohexamethyltrisiloxane (), in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature brought about selective and facile reductive formation of both of carbon–silicon and oxygen– silicon bonds to give the corresponding α-trimethylsilylalkyl trimethylsilyl ethers () and ...
