Solvent Effect on Nucleophilic Cleavage of p-Chlorobenzyltrimethylsilane Using Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride in ROH-DMSO Media

F.M. Mahmoud, M.A. Al-Nuri and J.A. Daraghmah

Abstract: The rates of cleavage of p-chlorotrimethylsilane were measured in various ROH-DMSO media (R: Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, CF₃CH₂ -_, HOCH₂CH₂-) and the results were reported. These results have shown that the rates of cleavage decrease as the mole ratio of ROH increases.
