Formation of a new silicon-containing ring system; preparation of 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexamethyl-1,2,3-trisilacyclopentanes
Abstract
Reaction of 1,2-dimethoxytetrametnyldisilane with stilbene (cis and trans) and with α-methylstyrene in the presence of NaOMe catalyst afforded derivatives of the new 1,2,3-trisilacyclopentane ring system.
