Dy. Son et al., HYDROSILYLATION REACTIONS OF BIS(DIMETHYLSILYL)ACETYLENES - A POTENTIAL ROUTE TO NOVEL SIGMA-CONJUGATED AND PI-CONJUGATED POLYMERS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(10), 1996, pp. 1579-1582
Chloroplatinic acid catalyzes hydrosilylation reactions between bis(di
methylsilyl)acetylenes and simple aromatic monoethynyl compounds, yiel
ding styrenic derivatives. Reactions of the bis(dimethylsilyl)acetylen
es with aromatic diethynyl compounds yield conjugated short chain olig
omers.
