Abstract

In conclusion a facile, efficient, chemo-and regioselective method of synthesis of previously unknown [(trimethylsilyl) methyl] nitroarenes is now available. The potential usefulness of these compounds in organic synthesis is suggested by the preliminary studies reported on the fluoride-mediated addition to benzaldehyde. Further aspects of the reactivity of [(trimethylsilyl) methyl] nitroarenes will be reported later.
