Abstract
Thiocarbanilide and its derivatives were reacted with 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-disiloxane to afford the respective N,N-bis(thiocarbanilide) disiloxanes which are used as potent silyl donors when reacted with different phenols. The exchange of the tetramethyldisiloxyl group between tetramethyl-disiloxanodithiocarbanilide and phenol, is achieved when the thiocarbanilide is precipitated in the reaction medium in few minutes. The newly prepared disiloxanodiaryl thiocarbanilides were examined by analytical and spectroscopic measurements.
