If siloxycarbene formation involves initial -cleavage this would be the -cleavage rate constant.(15) We have no definitive evidence at present on the multiplicity (singlet or triplet) of the siloxycarbene state which reacts with alcohol.(16) See: (Dalton, J. €.; Bourque, R. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1981, following paper in this issue) for an interesting example of an acylsilane photoreaction that does not involve siloxycarbene intermediates.Mechanistic Photochemistry of Acylsilanes. 2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
