The oxidative method for the hydrolysis of 1,3-dithianes was applied to 2-s
ilyl-1,3-dithianes using N-bromosuccinimide providing acylsilanes with good
yields under a short reaction period. The oxidation of aroylsilanes to car
boxylic acid was prevented by the addition of bases and the lowering of the
reaction temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
