Application

Potassium trimethylsilanolate can be used as a reagent in the:
  • Hydrolysis of nitriles to primary amides.
  • Conversion of esters to carboxylic acids, and dialkyl phosphonates to their monoalkyl phosphonates.
  • Synthesis of E-alkenes, and nitrocefin.


It can also be used as a coupling promoter in cross-coupling reaction of aliphatic alkynylsilanols with aryl iodides.
