Abstract
Reactions of an isolable dialkylsilylene with dichloromethane and (chlorome thyl)cyclopropane occur in solution to afford the double silylene insertion product and an unusual 5-silaspiro[4.4]nonane derivative, respectively. Th e activation of the carbon-chlorine bonds due to the complexation of haloal kanes with the silylene may facilitate the nucleophilic attack of another s ilylene under the present reaction conditions.
