14. The ease of silane cleavage with base in solution correlates with the basicity of the carbanion being expelled; see: Eaborn, C.; Walton, D. R. M. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1975, 937.
15. This method of determining the relative basicities of ions is similar, in principle, to the method of Cooks and co-workers in which cluster ions are given internal energy by collisions in a mass spectrometer: Wright, L.

We have carried out MM2 force field calculations on tert-butyltrimethylsilane using the recently published parameters that have been extended to silicon (Frierson, M. R.; Imam, M. R.; Zalkow, V. B.; Allinger, N. L. J. Org. Chem. 1988, 53, 5248). We found that tert-butyltrimethylsilane is strain free.
