Abstract

Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 Received November 21,1975 ... Thermolysis of esters of 6-hydroxyalkyltrirnethylsilanes RIR&(OH)CHzSiMe3 was investigated as a route to the synthetically useful vinylsilanes RIR2C=CHSiMe3. A survey of product composition vs. leaving group for esters of 2-trimethylsilylmethyl-2-adamantanol (la) revealed exclusive alkene formation with a good leaving group and exclusive vinylsilane ...
