title: Allyl and benzyl iodides by the anomalous action of iodotrimethylsilane.
abstract: Iodotrimethylsilane (TMSI), routinely used for the dealkylation of ethers and esters, has been found to efficiently convert allyl and benzyl phosphotriesters into the corresponding iodides under mild, Brønsted-neutral conditions. In contrast, alkyl and aryl phosphotriesters were dealkylated to the corresponding phosphates under identical conditions.
