Towards 2-Silaallenes: Synthesis of Spirocyclic Precursors
摘要:
AbstractReactions of dichlorodivinylsilane (2) and LitBu in a molar ratio 1/1 and 1/2 lead to highly reactive intermediates, which can be trapped by suitable reagents. In the presence of trimethylmethoxysilane, norbornadiene, anthracene and diphenylacetylene, products are formed that provide evidence for the intermediate formation of both the neopentylsilene H2C=CH(Cl)Si=CHCH2tBu (3) and the 2‐silaallene tBuCH2CH=Si=CHCH2tBu (4). The formation of double cycloadducts from 4 is particularly interesting as a preparatively facile route for the synthesis of silaspirocycles such as 13, 16 and 17, which have been characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis.
