The first base stabilized monoalkylsilylenes LSitBu (2) and LSi[C(SiMe3)3] (3) (L = PhC(NtBu)2) were synthesized by the facile metathesis reactions of LitBu and KC(SiMe3)3 with LSiCl (1). The reaction of LSitBu (2) with N2O afforded the dimer [LSitBu(μ-O)]2 (4) which contains a four-membered Si2O2 ring.
