R. Boukherroub et G. Manuel, Unprecedented effects of the trimethylsilyl group on the reactivity of 3C-silylated silacyclopentenes and their derivatives, J ORGMET CH, 604(2), 2000, pp. 141-149
We have synthesised new 3C-silylated silacyclopentenes from the correspondi
ng 3-trimethylsilyl-1,1-dichloro-1-silacyclopent-3-enes. The presence of tw
o metal centres M (M = Si) in alpha and beta-positions confers an original
structure for these new heterocycles. The chemical behaviour of such compou
nds and their derivatives was studied and compared to the results obtained
in the non-substituted silacyclopentane series. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S
