Unprecedented insertion reaction of a silylene into a B–B bond and generation of a novel borylsilyl anion by boron–metal exchange reaction of the resultant diborylsilane

Abstract

A kinetically stabilized diarylsilylene, Tbt(Mes)Si: (1, Tbt = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, Mes = mesityl), thermally generated from overcrowded disilene Tbt(Mes)Si[double bond, length as m-dash]Si(Mes)Tbt (2) or stable silylene–isocyanide complex (3a), was found to insert into a B–B bond of bis(pinacolato)diboron, B2(pin)2 (4), and the boron–lithium exchange reaction of the resulting diborylsilane gave the first borylsilyl anion.
