In the cross-metathesis reaction of tri(methyl, ethoxy)vinylsilanes wi
th propene and/or 1-butene catalyzed by RuCl2(PPh3)(3) activated in be
nzene at 115-130 degrees C, a series of 1-alkenylsilanes of general fo
rmula CH3(CH2)(m)CH = CHSiMe3-n(OEt)(n), where m = 0, 1, and n = 0-3 (
1-silyl-1-alkenes), as well as of formula CH2 = C(Me)SiMe3-n(OEt)(n),
where n = 1, 2 (2-silyl-1-alkenes), were obtained, Additional products
determined were allysilanes of general formula CH2 = CHCH2SiMe3-n(OEt
)(n) and CH3CH = CHCH2SiMe3-n(OEt)(n), where n = 1-3. (C) 1997 by John
