Heating a benzene solution of adamantoyltris-(trimethylsilyl)silane (1
) with a catalytic amount of Ni(PEt3)4 afforded the benzene adducts ri
methylsiloxy)methyl]hexamethyl-2-phenyltrisilane and rimethylsiloxy)me
thyl]hexamethyl-1-phenyltrisilane in 46 and 31 % yields. A similar nic
kel-catalyzed reaction of 1 with dimethylphenylsilane produced 2-[adam
antyl(trimethylsiloxy)methyl] pentamethyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-phenylt
risilane in 82% yield.
