Lineare tetrasilane mit mittelständigen substituenten—oligosilane mit optischer Aktivität
摘要:
The chiral tetrasilane 2,3-diphenyltetrasilane (2) is formed by the stepwise cleavage of Si-aryl bonds in appropriate aryltetrasilanes with HCl under pressure and subsequent reduction with LiAlH4. HPh2SiSiPh2SiPh2SiPh2H affords a mixture of conformers, whereas MeS2HSiSiPh2SiPh2SiHMeS2, which is accessible from MeS2HSiLi and Ph2SiCl2, only yields 2 because mesityl groups proved to be much more reactive towards HCl than towards phenyl groups. Further reaction of 2 with HCl or HBr affords 2,3-dichlorotetrasilane (7) and 2,3-dibromotetrasilane (8). The diastereomers that appear because of the presence of 2 asymmetric Si atoms in 2, 7 and 8, can be easily distinguished in NMR and GC/MS experiments.
