Abstract

Phenyldimethylsilyllithium is formed from lithium and phenyldimethylsilyl chloride by slow cleavage of the Si–Si bond of 1, 1, 2, 2-tetramethyl-1, 2-diphenyldisilane after the rapid formation of the disilane. 1, 1, 2, 2-Tetramethyl-1, 2-diphenyldisiloxane, produced from the silyl chloride by reaction with oxides and hydrox
