N. Shimizu et al., PREDICTION OF STRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF TRIALKYLSILYL GROUPS ON REACTIVITY TOWARD NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT AT SILICON, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1993, pp. 1807-1810
A quantitative method of predicting reactivities of trialkylsilyl grou
ps relative to Me3Si toward nucleophilic displacement at silicon has b
een established on the basis of statistical analyses of the rates of s
olvolysis for a comprehensive series of chlorosilanes in aqueous dioxa
ne.
