K. Nishiyama et al., Synthesis, structure, and photochemical reaction of 9,10-dihydro-9-silaanthracene derivatives carrying bulky substituents, J ORGMET CH, 604(1), 2000, pp. 20-26
Some of 9-aryl-9,10-dihydro-9-silaanthracencs (1) were prepared and the alk
ylation of the compounds gave trans-9-aryl-10-alkyl-9,10-dihydro-9-silaanth
racenes exclusively. Upon photolysis of a 9-phenyl derivative, 9-phenyl-9-s
ilaanthracene was confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. Also, structural stu
dies of the dihydro compounds were performed by NMR and X-ray. (C) 2000 Els
