Abstract
A reaction of potassium tert-butoxide with chloromethyltrichlorosilane in THF leads to tri(tert-butoxy)chloromethylsilane. Upon reflux in THF, it reacted with magnesium with the formation of stable [tri(tert-butoxy)silyl]methylmagnesium chloride, whose structure was confirmed by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy. In the THF solution at 25 °C, [tri(tert-butoxy)silyl]methylmagnesium chloride exists in the equilibrium with bis{[tri(tert-butoxy)silyl]methyl}magnesium (in the ratio of 1: 1).
