Abstract
A facile electrochemical synthesis of silyl acetal, a synthetic equivalent of formylsilane, was described in this study. Using undivided cells and platinum and stainless-steel electrodes, the constant current electrolysis of 2-silyl-1,3‑dithiane with monoalcohol and diol in acetonitrile yielded various silyl acetals. The silyl acetal was readily converted to the corresponding formylsilane. This method without mercury reagents would be a greener alternative to traditional formylsilane synthesis.
