Sk. Mandal et A. Sarkar, POTASSIUM HYDRIDE AS NUCLEOPHILE - A PRACTICAL METHOD FOR CLEAVAGE AND FUNCTIONAL MODIFICATION OF CR(CO)(3)-AR-SIME3 BONDS, Journal of organic chemistry, 63(6), 1998, pp. 1901-1905
Potassium hydride reacts with Cr(CO)(3)-aryltrimethylsilanes at roam t
emperature to generate stabilized aryl anions which can further react
with electrophiles.
