Abstract
Compounds having a vinyldimethylsilyl group at both terminals have bee n successfully cyclized by ruthenium hydride catalysts to give selecti vely disilacycles of various ring sizes via a metathetical reaction, i .e. ethene elimination from the two terminal vinyl groups, not involvi ng metallocarbene-metallacyclobutane type intermediates.
