Abstract

A key intermediate in a highly efficient rhodium-catalyzed O-silylation of alcohols is chlorosilane, generated from vinylsilane and HCl, which is regenerated in the catalytic cycle. Various alcohols and vinylsilanes were applied to the preparation of silyl ethers with this catalyst system.
