G. Haberhauer et R. Gleiter, A SHORT SYNTHESIS OF DONOR-ACCEPTOR-SUBSTITUTED CPCO-CAPPED CYCLOBUTADIENE-SUPERPHANES, Tetrahedron letters, 39(37), 1998, pp. 6695-6698
The reaction of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-disilanona-4,8-diyne (7) and 1
,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1,4-disiladeca-5,9-diyne (8) with R-CpCo(CO)(2) (R=
H, CH3) allowed to stop the reaction at the stage of tricyclic interme
diates, the latter could be reacted again with R-CpCoL2(L-2=COD,(CO)(2
)) to yield CpCo-capped cyclobutadiene-superphanes with different subs
tituents in the two Cp ligands. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig
