The previously unknown 1,1-dichloro-2,3,4,5-tetramethyl-1-silacyclopenta-2,4-diene (3) was prepared in a three-step synthesis starting from zirconocene dichloride, 2-butyne, and n-butyllithium via bis(cyclopentadienyl)-2,3,4,5-tetramethyl-1-zirconacyclopenta-2,4-diene (1) and 1,4-diiodo-1,2,3,4-tetramethylbuta-1,3-diene (2).3 was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Reaction of the new silole 3 with 4 equivalents of lithium in THF gives the corresponding dianion 4. H-1-, C-13-, and Si-29-NMR chemical shifts of 4 compared with 3 indicate some aromatic character for the ionic species. Trapping of 4 with Me(3)SiCl gives 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,3,4,5-tetramethylsilole (5) in quantitative yield.
