A Series of 'tert'-Butyldimethylsiloxanes of Increasing Steric Hindrance.
Abstract
A number of years ago Sommer and Tyler reported tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane. Recently this compound has attracted considerable attention because, as Corey has shown, it is a very effective blocking agent for hydroxyl groups in organic intermediates. The silanol corresponding to this chlorosilane, tert-butyldimethylsilanol, was also reported by Sommer and Tyler, but uses for it have not been found and it has attracted little attention. This compound is an interesting one nevertheless. It reacts with water very readily to form a hemihydrate (as does the corresponding carbinol, tert-butyldimethylcarbinol), and, more significantly, it does not self-condense on being heated to fairly high temperatures.
