Abstract

Treatment of LiC(SiMe2H)3]·2THF (1) with alkenylchlorosilanes produced sterically hindered alkenylsilanes (4-10) of structure H2C=CH-(CH2)n SiRR′C(SiMe2H)3 (R = Me; R′ = Me or Cl; n = 0, 1, or 4). The Peterson reaction of 1 with carbonyl compounds gave sterically hindered olefins R(R′)C=C(SiMe2H)2. Pt or Rh catalyzed intramolecular hydrosilylation of H2C=CHSiMe2C(SiMe2H)3 (4) occurred to produce a new 1,3-disilacyclobutane derivative 15. Intermolecular hydro silylation was favored for 5, 8, and 10, producing oligomeric products.
