Cleavage of the siliconcarbon bond of 2-(trimethylsilyl)pyridine has been affected by benzoyl chloride, phthalic anhydride, and ethyl chloroformate as well as benzaldehyde to provide a novel pathway to heterocyclic ketones, keto-acids, esters and alcohols. A cyclic four-membered transition state is proposed in which the polarity of both the siliconaromatic bond and the attacking reagent are stressed.
