Type: article

Abstract: The title compound methyl 3-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzoate, C 13 H 16 O 2 Si, was synthesized via a Sonogashira coupling reaction using cis -[PdCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] and CuI. The two molecules in the unit cell pack utilizing weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions between carbon H atoms and neighboring oxygen atoms in the methyl benzoate group.
