Abstract
A new efficient procedure for the selective trimethylsilylation of rea dily available tetrachlorocyclopropene is described. The electrochemic al silylation gave the title compound 2 on a preparative scale in 78% yield. Ionization of 2 to its corresponding cyclopropenium ion and its functionalization by treatment with arenes is described. The properti es of the title compound were also investigated.
