Halodesilylation Route to 2,5-Difunctionalized 3,4-Dialkylsiloles and Their Derivatization to 2,2‘-Bisilole
摘要:
A new synthetic-route to 2,5-difunctionalized 3,4-dialkylsiloles has been developed based on the selective halodesilylation of 2,5-disilyl-1,1,3,4-tetraalkylsiloles. A series of 2,5-dihalosiloles having various alkyl groups on silicon and at the 3,4-positions were prepared. Some 2,5-dihalosiloles were further derivatized to unsymmetrical 2,5-difunctionalized siloles having boron or tin functionalities. A silole dimer, 2,2'-bisilole, was also prepared by the oxidative coupling using a copper complex starting from the 2,5-diiodosiloles. The crystal structure and UV-vis absorption spectral data of the 2,2'-bisilole have been compared to the 3,4-diphenyl analogue which we previously reported.
