title: Versatile access to Martin's spirosilanes and their hypervalent derivatives.
abstract: A new route to Martin's spirosilanes has been devised. The original synthesis does not allow diversely substituted spirosilane derivatives to be synthesized, and thus their corresponding silicates. In this report, Martin's spirosilanes bearing alkyl, aryl, halogen, alkoxy, and trifluoromethyl substituents on the aryl ring have been prepared through a versatile four-step route. Addition of fluoride onto these Lewis acids as a prototypical reaction with a nucleophile yielded a library of stable fluorosilicates. Both sets of compounds have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
