V. Gevorgyan et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF SILYLMETHYLSILATRANES RR'R''SICH2SI(OCH2CH2)(3)N, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 482(1-2), 1994, pp. 73-79
New alkoxysilylmethylsilatranes MePhROSiCH(2)Si(OCH2CH2)(3)N have been
obtained from the reaction of silylmethylsilatrane MePhHSiCH(2)Si(OCH
2CH2)(3)N with alcohols in the presence of H2PtCl6.6H2O. Methylphenyls
ilylmethylsilatrane (1) reacted with H2O in the presence of Pd to give
methylphenyl(silatranylmethyl)silanol (6) which was converted to silo
xane (7) and germoxane (8). The molecular structures of the silatrane
1 and silanol 6 have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study whi
ch revealed the presence of intramolecular OH...O bond in the latter.
