R. Minkwitz et S. Schneider, THE BIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)ESTER OF CARBONIC-ACID - SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION AND IMPROVED PREPARATION, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 53(8), 1998, pp. 849-852
The low temperature preparation of the bistrimethylsilylester of carbo
nic acid is reported. The hydrolysable and thermolabile (Me3SiO)(2)CO
has been characterized by vibrational and NMR spectroscopic methods. U
nder inert conditions the (Me3SiO)(2)CO is stable at 233 K for several
weeks.
