27. We have investigated the possibility of an initial interaction between MTO and HOH, resulting in two hydroxide ligands, in a mechanism analogous to that outlined in ref 6d (Figure 2) for the HOOH substrate. However, the barrier to forming this complex is 19.5 kcal/mol (23.6 kcal/mol for HOOH) and is not competitive with the reaction between MTO and the silyl hydrotrioxide.
28. 13C NMR spectra of some of the substrates studied (see for example, Figure S4 in Supporting Information), might be tentatively assigned to the intermediates of the type I-1.
29. 2O was added to the reaction mixture before the reaction, does not support this presumption (see Figure S2 in SI).
