General description
Sodium trimethylsilanolate is a versatile and very powerful reagent for the conversion of esters to carboxylic acids and the hydrolysis of nitriles to primary amides. It can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of metal silanolates via the salt metathesis and as a catalyst for the silylation of silanols with hydrosilanes.
Application
Sodium trimethylsilanolate is used as a catalyst in the:
- Synthesis of the rhodium silonate complex.
- Silylation of methylphenylsilane with tert-butyldimethylsilanol to synthesize trisiloxanes.
