C. Eaborn et al., A NOVEL MOLECULAR-SPECIES INCORPORATING A CYCLIC ORGANOLITHATE ANION AND A DISILOXANE-SOLVATED LITHIUM CATION, Chemical communications, (12), 1998, pp. 1277-1278
The disiloxane O{SiMe2CH(SiMe3)(2)}(2) is readily metallated by LiMe i
n thf (thf = tetrahydrofuran) to give the compound SiMe2C(SiMe)(3)LiC(
SiMe3)(2)SiMe2OLi(thf)(2), the crystal structure of which is reported.
