Photolysis of (2-hydroxymethylphenyl)pentamethyldisilane 1 in methanol provides a novel intramolecular photoproduct 4 via silene intermediate 2 but the photoreaction of (2-acetoxymethyl- or allyloxymethylphenyl) pentamethyldisilanes 5 or 10 in methanol affords unexpected photoproducts 8 or 13, respectively, instead of expected intramolecular photoproducts.
