Abstract

Acylsilanes, RC(O)SiMe3 (R = C6H5, p-MeOC6H4 and C5H11), can be converted into their corresponding carboxylic acids, when water is used as solvent, and esters when alcohol is used as solvent. This oxidation is mediated by iron (III) ions in 20-24 h or nitric acid diluted in alcohol in 2-10 h at room temperature.
