Sonication assisted reaction of benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate with alkoxytrimethylsilanes and trimethylsilyl esters gives phenylalkyl ethers and phenyl esters, respectively, with trialkyl-(aryl) borates as byproducts. The scope of the reaction, experimental conditions and proposed mechanism are discussed.
