Abstract
The dimesitylneopentylsilene Mes(2)Si=CH-CH(2)(t)Bu 1 is obtained in a lmost quantitative yield by reaction of tert-butyllithium with dimesit ylvinylfluorosilane 4; 1 is certainly one of the most easily available stable silenes. In spite of its stability, 1 presents a high reactivi ty in the field of classical chemistry of organometallic alkenes such as addition or cycloaddition reactions and, in some cases, an original behaviour of ene-reagent (towards benzaldehyde) and both ene- and eno philic-reagent (towards acetophenone).
