C. Moreau et al., SELECTIVE AND HIGH-YIELD ELECTROSYNTHESIS OF (SILYL AND SILANYLENE 1-METHYLPYRROLES) FROM 1-METHYLPYRROLE BROMIDES, Synthetic communications, 28(18), 1998, pp. 3403-3414
The sacrificial anode technique proved to be efficient for the selecti
ve and competitive silylation of 1-methylpyrrole bromides with trimeth
ylchlorosilane and diorganodichlorosilanes. Linear and cyclic alternat
ed 1-methyl-pyrrolylene-silanylene oligomers were obtained in good to
high yields.
