J. Ruiz et al., Hydrosilylation of an hexa-olefin star with organometallic hydrogenosilanes: ferrocenylsilylation and desilylenation, J ORGMET CH, 582(1), 1999, pp. 139-141
The regiospecific hydrosilylation of the star-shaped hexa-olefin [C-6(CH2CH
2CHCH2)(6)] with [FcSiMe(2)H] (Fc = ferrocenyl) is catalyzed by the Karsted
t catalyst, giving the hexaferrocene complex [C-6{(CH2)(4)SiMe(2)Fc}(6)], w
hich was purified by chromatography and characterized by its molecular peak
in the MALDI TOF mass spectrum, whereas the same reaction with the new sil
ane [FeCp(eta(6)-C6Me5CH2SiMe2H)][PF6] gives the desilylenation product [Fe
Cp(eta(6)-C6Me6)][PF6]. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
