16. This pH value is essential for the observation of full conversions. The reaction can be activated with NaOH or with other bases such as sodium phosphate, whose Brönsted basicity is strong enough to attain pH >12.
17. Formation of small amounts of [Si2O2(OH)3(vinyl)2]- and traces of other oligomers were also observed above pH 12. For studies on the alkaline hydrolysis of RSi(OR′3)3 species, see: Pozdniakova, Y. A.; Lyssenko, K. A.; Korlyukov, A. A.; Blagodatskikh, I. V.; Auner, N.; Katsoulis, D.; Shchegolikhina, O. I. Eur. J.

18. Silanolate 2 evolves to form water-insoluble species below pH 11.5-12. We are currently investigating whether the requirement of pH >12 is associated with the chemical nature or the water solubility of 2. Tetracoordinate silanolates have been introduced by Denmark and co-workers as activated substrates in Hiyama cross-coupling reactions. See: (a) Denmark, S. E.; Baird, J. D. Chem.-Eur. J. 2006, 12, 4954-4963, and references therein.
