The action of various silylating agents on mono‐ and polyvicinal 1,1‐dihydroxy compounds has been investigated. Some of these reagents converted ninhydrin ( 2 ) and rhodizonic acid ( 17 ) into the corresponding geminal bis(trimethylsilyloxy) derivatives 1 and 20 , respectively. Compound 1 readily fragments to form hexamethyldisiloxane and indantrione ( 4 ). The rhodizonic acid derivative 20 is, however, rather stable and even on pyrolysis at 500°C gives only traces of the tetraketone 21 . With other silylating agents unexpected C ‐alkylation or C ‐amidation at the dihydroxy carbon is observed. Silylation of perhydroxycyclobutane and ‐cyclohexane leads to ring opened and contracted products.
