Abstract

The relative reactivities of various carbon-hydrogen bonds of seven different alkylchlorosilanes toward the sulfuryl chloride chlorination have been determined in carbon tetrachloride solvent in the presence of toluene as standard. The reactivity data indicate that the trichlorosilyl group exhibits a negative (-I) inductive effect, whereas the dimethylchlorosilyl group displays a positive (+ I) inductive effect. It is also concluded that ...
