[Tris(trimethylsllyl)methyl](dimethyl)silyl cyanate. The cyanate to isocyanate isomerization, and the high activity of cyanate as a leaving group in solvolysis

Colin Eaborn,   Yousef Y. El-Kaddar  and  Paul D. Lickiss  

Abstract

The isomerization of the cyanate (Me3Si)3CSiMe2(OCN), (1), to the isocyanate (i) in Ph2O at 195 °C is second order in (1), (ii) in CCl4 is catalysed by ICI, and (iii), in MeOH is catalysed by NaOMe; in solvolysis in MeOH, (1) is comparable in reactivity to the corresponding trifluoromethanesulphonate, and shows an abnormally high selectivity for reaction with the water in slightly aqueous MeOH.
