Abstract
The silanol TsiSiMe(C6H4Me-p)OH (Tsi = (Me3Si)3C) has been shown to react with some acid chlorides RCOCl (R = Me, Et, ClCH2) and acetic acid anhydride (MeCO)2O to give the related carboxylates TsiSiMe(C6H4Me-p)OCOR. It also reacts with 4-O2NC6H4COCl and a mixture of Cl2CHCOCl and AlCl3 to give TsiSiMe[C6H3-3-(CO-C6H4NO2-p)-4-Me]OCOC6H4NO2-p and TsiSiMe[C6H3-3-(COCHCl2- 4-Me)]OCOCHCl2 respectively. The reaction of the silanol TsiSiMe(C6H4OMe-p)OH with acid chloride RCOCl (R = Me or Et) gives TsiSiMeClOCOR and TsiSiMe(RCO)OCOR, while in the presence of pyridine gives the normal carboxylate TsiSiMe(C6H4OMe-p)OCOR.
