    • Palladium/hydrogen catalyzed alcoholysis of benzylsilanes 

      Pitt, Colin; Friedman, Alan; Rector, Douglas; Wani, Mansukh (Elsevier: Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 1976)
      Certain benzylsilanes are converted to methoxy or ethoxysilanes and toluene when treated with methanol or ethanol in the presence of hydrogen and catalytic amounts of palladium on charcoal. The reaction is promoted by a ...
    • The total synthesis and anti-fertility activity of 6-silasteroids 

      Pitt, Colin; Friedman, Alan; Rector, Douglas; Wani, Mansukh (Elsevier: Tetrahedron, 1975)
      4,4-Dimethyl-6-methoxy-4-sila-1-tetralone (2) was prepared by a modified literature procedure and converted to 3-methoxy-6,6-dimethyl-6-silaestra-1,3,5(10),8,14-pentaen-17β-yl acetate (5c). Catalytic hydrogenation of 5c ...
