27. There may be one possibility that Mg-metal reacted with the oxonium ion as a dehydrochlorination agent to give the silyl ether, magnesium chloride, and hydrogen gas.
28. Billimora, J. D., J. Chem. Soc. 1955, 1126. It may be also postulated as another possibility that one-electron transfer from Mg-metal to the oxonium ion gave the silyl ether and hydrogen radical, as similar to formation of a tertiary amine and an alkyl radical by electroreductive one-electron transfer to a quaternary ammonium salt. 29
