Abstract

Recently we reported the reactions of trialky1112 and triary13 phosphate esters with triphenylsilyllithium in tetrahydrofuran. The alkyl esters were found to react in a 1: 1 mole ratio with this silylmetallic compound via nucleophilic displacements of oxygen from carbon, giving alkyltriphenylsilanes in high yields. 3 The use of three equivalents of triphenylsilyllithium and forced conditions in reactions with tri-n-butyl phosphate, however, ...
