摘要:
Cl(SiMe(2))(3)Cl (1a) reacts with 2 equiv of acetylenes RC=CR' for (R, R') = (Ph, H), (Hex, H), (Ph(CH2)(2), H), (NC(CH2)(3), H), (Ph, Me), and (Ph, Ph) in the presence of palladium catalysts at 120-140 degrees C to give 1,4-disilacyclohexa-2,5-dienes in 82-20% yields along with the coproduct Me(2)SiCl(2). Terminal acetylenes exhibit higher reactivities than internal acetylenes. PdCl(2)L(2) catalysts with L = P(aryl)(3) or AsPh(3) are efficient, while those with L = P(alkyl)(3) or PhCN are not effective. Use of X(SiMe(2))(3)X (X = F, OMe) in place of la produces very little 1,4-disilacyclohexa-2,5-diene. Possible involvement of silylene species in the catalysis is suggested by the reaction of la with Pt(PEt(3))(3), which gives cis-(CIMe(2)Si)(Me(3)SiClMeSi)Pt-(PEt(3))(2) (9), presumably via silyleneplatinum intermediates, and by the generation of dimethylsilylene in the thermolysis of 9. Complex 9 is alternatively obtained in the reaction of ClMe(2)SiSiClMeSiMe(3) with Pt(PEt(3))(3). Reaction of la with m-diprop-1-yn-1-ylbenzene gives a regular silicon polymer of low molecular weight consisting of alternating 1,4-disilacyclohexa-2,5-dien-2,5- or -2,6-ylene and m-phenylene units, most of the termini being 1,2-bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethenyl groups. Similar reactions with p- and m-diethynylbenzene also give silicon polymers that contain 1,4-disilacyclohexa-2,5-dienylene and phenylene rings in the backbone.
