Abstract
The reaction of silacyclohexadienes with an extremely hindered aryllit hium, TbtLi (Tbt = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl), gave no expected Tbt-substituted silacyclohexadienes but trihydrosilane, Tb tSiH(3), via the elimination of cyclopentadienide anion. By contrast, 1,1-difluoro-1-silacyclohexa-2,4-diene underwent a normal substitution though the yield was very low.
