Abstract
Abstract (Chloromethyl)pentamethyldisilane (I) underwent intramolecular rearrangement when treated with sodium methoxide, isopropoxide and phenoxide to give the corresponding alkoxypentamethyldisilylmethanes (CH 3 ) 3 SiCH 2 Si(CH 3 ) 2 OR, whereas it gave only substitution products of the formula (CH 3 ) 3 SiSi(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 Y when allowed to react with sodium ethylmercaptide and thiophenolate, and with diethylamine and aniline. The reaction of (I) with potassium acetate in acetic acid proceeded in two steps: first, substitution; second, intramolecular rearrangement of the substitution product. Three organo-functional organodisilanes, viz. (acetoxymethyl)-, (methoxymethyl)- and (cyanomethyl)pentamethyldisilane, which could not be obtained by the nucleophilic substitution, were prepared by alternative methods and some of their reactions studied.
