Abstract

Difunctional disilanes of the general type XR2SiSiR2X (1–5)(X= OMe, H; R= Me, Ph, H) have been synthesized by electrolysis of the appropriate chlorosilanes XR2SiCl in an undivided cell with a constant current supply and in the absence of any complexing agent. Reduction potentials of the chlorosilane starting materials derived from cyclic voltammetry measurements were used to rationalize the results of preparative electrolyses. ...
