Summary
-
1.
The reaction between trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride and the ethyl esters of acetic and n-butyric acids proceeds normally, in the direction of the formation of tertiary alcohols, but is accompanied by 3 -decomposition, the splitting off from these alcohols in acid medium of one trimethylsilyl group.
-
2.
When tertiary organosilicon alcohols containing a hydroxyl group on the β-carbon atom are dehydrated, unsaturated silicohydrocarbons are formed with a double bond in the β-position.
