D. Casarini et al., CONFORMATIONAL STUDIES BY DYNAMIC NMR - 66 - RING INVERSION IN A CYCLIC DISILANE - 1,1,4,4-TETRAMETHYL-1,4-DISILACYCLOHEXANE, Tetrahedron, 54(43), 1998, pp. 13181-13184
The barrier to ring inversion of the title compound (Delta G(not equal
) = 6.0 kcal mol(-1)) has been found to be much lower than that (Delta
G(not equal) = 11.1 kcal mol(-1)) of the corresponding cyclohexane de
rivative (1,1,4,4-tetramethylcyclohexane). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science L
