Abstract

The equilibrium profiles for [1, 5]-silatropic shifts in a series of 1, 3-/1, 1-disilyl substituted indenes were studied by NMR and computational methods based on density functional theory. Both methods indicate higher activation parameters for the [1, 5]-shifts than observed in monosilyl substituted indene analogues.
