Pd. Lickiss et R. Lucas, OXIDATION OF STERICALLY HINDERED ORGANOSILICON HYDRIDES USING POTASSIUM-PERMANGANATE, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 521(1-2), 1996, pp. 229-234
The one-pot synthesis of Ph(3)SiOH, (t)Bu(2)Si(OH)(2), (Me(3)Si)(3)CSi
(OH)(3) and (Me(3)Si)(3)CSiMe(2)OH directly from the corresponding bul
ky silicon hydrides using KMnO4 is described. The size of the substitu
ents, the silane:KMnO4 stoichiometry, the solvent and the application
of ultrasound were all shown to influence the rate of the reactions.
