Am. Reddy et al., Synthesis, structure, and photochemistry of 2-silyl- and 2-disilanyl-2-aryl-1,3-dithiane derivatives, CHEM LETT, (5), 2001, pp. 476-477
A series of 2-silyl- and 2-disilanyl-substituted 2-aryl-1,3-dithiane deriva
tives were prepared by the reactions of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes with
the corresponding chlorosilanes. Photolysis of 2-phenyl-2-(pentamethyldisil
anyl)-1,3-di resulted in the intermediary formation of 1,1-dimethyl-2-pheny
l-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-silaethene.
