Conclusions

The reaction of tetrahydrofuran with trimethyliodosilane under mild conditions gives trimethyl-(4-iodobutoxy)silane in quantitative yield. 1-Trimethylsilyl-4-trimethylsiloxybutane (10% yield) and the previously unknown 1,8-bis(trimethylsiloxy)octane (50% yield) are formed in the presence of sodium metal. The reaction of trimethyliodosilane with trimethyl-(4-iodobutoxy)silane gives 1,4-diiodobutane and hexamethyldisiloxane in high yield.
