Photo-induced silylene-transfer reactions of cyclic organosilanes to phenanthraquinone

Abstract

Cophotolysis of cyclic organosilanes 1–4 with phenanthraquinone gave silylene insertion products via radical displacement at the silicon atoms of organosilanes by the photochemically excited phenanthraquinone.
