Abstract
Reactivity of 1,1,2,2-tetraaryldsilanes as a radical reagent in ethanol was studied in reduction of alkyl bromides, addition to olefins and alkylation onto heteroaromatic bases with alkyl bromides. The present organodisilanes showed moderate to good reactivities for these three types of radical reac tions. Among some disilanes prepared, 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilane is the mo st useful in view of its reactivity and ease of preparation. (C) 1999 Elsev ier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
