Abstract
We have recently reported the use of trimethylsilyl iodide in several important synthetic transformations, namely, the efficient conversion of alkyl carboxylates into trimethylsilyl carboxylates and thence acids;6 the transformation of dialkyl and aryl alkyl ethers into the corresponding alkyl and aryl trimethylsilyl ethers and thence alcohols and phenols;' and the conversion of alcohols into iodides either directly or via the trimethylsilyl ethers. 8 Others have also reported on the usefulness of this silyl iodide in dealkylations. 9
