Abstract;We have investigated the effects of substituents at the position .ALPHA. to silicon and a proton source on the reactivity of pentacoordinate 1,2-oxasiletanide. In the case of 1 bearing neopentyl group as a substituent at the 3-position, the corresponding olefin and its double-bond-shifted isomer were obtained irrespective of existence of a proton source. On the other hand, the thermolysis of 6 without neopentyl group gave olefin, (CF3)2C=CH2, as the sole product without a proton source, but in the presence of a proton source, the corresponding alcohol MeC(CF3)2OH was mainly obtained. This result clearly indicates that two reaction modes(Peterson reaction and homo-Brook rearrangement) of .BETA.-hydroxyalkylsilane with bases proceed via an identical intermediate, a pentacoordinate 1,2-oxasiletanide.
