Abstract
Reaction of beta-styrylpentamethyldisilane (1a) with Ru-3(CO)(12) afforded beta-styryltrimethylsilane (2a) with elimination of a dimethylsilylene unit , while under similar conditions alpha-isomer 1b yielded 2a together with 1 a. Studies on these reactions suggest the formation of silapropenyl and sil ylene ruthenium complexes as key intermediates.
