Methyl 3-[(tri-methyl-sil-yl)ethyn-yl]benzoate.

Abstract

The title compound methyl 3-[(tri-methyl-sil-yl)ethyn-yl]benzoate, C13H16O2Si, was synthesized via a Sonogashira coupling reaction using cis-[PdCl2(PPh3)2] and CuI. The two mol-ecules in the unit cell pack utilizing weak inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between carbon H atoms and neighboring oxygen atoms in the methyl benzoate group.
