CAS 74472-22-3: Silane, (1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethyl-2-propenyl-

Allyl(Tert-Butyl)Dimethylsilane

Allyl(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane is a ketone that can be synthesized in high yields by the reaction of allylsilanes with acetonitrile in the presence of an acid catalyst. This method is efficient and gives a high yield of the desired product, making it useful for organic synthesis. Allyl(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane can also be used to silylate carboxylic acids and alcohols. The reaction is catalyzed by aluminum trichloride (AlCl3), which facilitates the formation of acetic acid and allyl ethers. This chemical has been shown to be effective in mediating complex transformations involving enol ethers, such as allylic oxidation and allylic bromination.
