The reduction of 1-chloro-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole, (C4Ph4SiPhCl, 1) with 2 equiv lithium gave the pentaphenylsilole anion [C4Ph4SiPh](-) (2), silole dianion [C4Ph4Si](2-) (3), and hexaphenylsilole C4Ph4SiPh2, (4). 2, 3, and 4 from the reaction mixture were characterized by Si-29 NMR spectroscopy. The Si-29 chemical shift of 3.7 ppm for 2 is shifted upfield as compared to that of previously reported t-butyltetraphenyisilole anion Li[C(4)Ph(4)SitBu], but shifted downfield compared to that of the other silole monoanion such as Li[C4Me4SiSiMe3], indicating the delocalization of silole anion through the 5-membered ring. Derivatization of the reaction mixture with iodomathane gave C4Ph4SiPh2 (4), C4Ph4SiMePh (5), and C4Ph4SiMe2 (6), which were characterized by H-1, C-13, and 29 Si NMR spectroscopy. The silole dianion 3 could be either from the continuous reduction of I with lithium or from the disproportionation of 2. The reduction of I with excess lithium in THF gave the silole dianion [C4Ph4Si](2-) in about 70% yield. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
