Dichlorbis(1,1-dimethylethyl)silan

VerwendenThe presence of the bulky t-butyl groups in di-t-butyldichlorosilane has been found to increase the Si–C bond lengths slightly and to widen the CSiC bond angles by 11.1 relative to dichlorodimethylsilane as determined by electron diffraction and molecular mechanics calculations.The di-t-butylsilylene protecting group for diols was introduced by Trost and Caldwell and used in a total synthesis of deoxypillaromycinone.It is introduced by the reaction of di-tbutyldichlorosilane with a 1,2- or 1,3-diol in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) at 45–90°C (eq 1).
