Abstract

+(CH3) 3C and (CH3) 3Si+(CH3I3Si, respectively, and D/C ratios of 1.86 f 0.15 and 0.55 f 0.08 for (CH3) 3C+(CH3) 3Si to form 2-methyl-2-silapropene and i-C4H8, respectively. With the completion of this work, several trends and generalizations can be drawn concerning the importance of various processes in linear vs. branched alkanes and alkylsilanes. These conclusions are summarized in this report.
