Potassium trimethylsilanolate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Potassium trimethylsilanolate can be used as a reagent in the:

• Hydrolysis of nitriles to primary amides.
• Conversion of esters to carboxylic acids, and dialkyl phosphonates to their monoalkyl phosphonates.
• Synthesis of E-alkenes, and nitrocefin.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from H2O and dry it at 100o/1-2mm. [Hyde et al. J Am Chem Soc 75 5615 1953, IR: Tatlock & Rochow J Org Chem 17 1555 1952, Beilstein 4 IV 3992.]
