Intramolecular reaction of carbonyl oxide. Formation of a silyl ester in the photosensitized oxygenation of a silyl diazo compound

Abstract
Dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of trimethylsilylphenyldiazomethane produced phenyl trimethylsilyl ketone and trimethylsilyl benzoate; the latter may be formed from the silyl substituted carbonyl oxide via intramolecular reaction.
