Abstract
Results Di-tert-butylmethylsilane. The reactions of alkyl-substituted cyclohexanones with di- tert-butylmethylsilane are significantly and unexpectedly faster than those with ditert- butylsilane. Using 6.6 equiv of trifluoroacetic acid, reductions of 4-tert-butyl, 4-methyl-, 2- methyl-, and even 3, 3, 5-trimethylcyclohexanone are complete within 20 hr at room temperature. Di-tert-butylmethylsilane is 20 to 40 times more reactive than di-tert- ...
