Abstract
Alcohol-free: A versatile, efficient, and practical synthesis of alkoxysilanes without generation of HCl involves the reaction of chlorosilanes with unsymmetrical ethers in the presence of a Lewis acid (see scheme). The reaction proceeds through selective cleavage of C-O bonds and is superior to conventional processes. Industrially feasible reagents are used and only one by-product results.
