Abstract
Chlorotrimethylsilane reacts with chromic anhydride to form a very reactive neutral chromium (Ⅵ) oxidizing agent. The active oxidizing species is not trimethylsilyl chlorochromate as was previously reported but chromyl chloride generated in equilibrium concentration. This oxidizing agent was proved very suitable for benzylic oxidations of toluenes and alkylbenzenes to benzaldehydes and aralkyl ketones. Dichlorodimethylsilane and trichlormethylsilane also react with chromic anhydride to form chromyl chloride in an equilibrium concentration.
