Abstract

Abstract The thermolysis of hexamethylsilirane in the presence of cis-and trans-4-octene, cyclooctene, propenyltrimethylsilane and trimethylethylethylene resulted in dimethylsilylene transfer and formation of the respective silacyclopropanes. In contrast, silacyclopentane derivatives were formed when such thermolysis was carried out in the presence of styrene and α-methylstyrene. This is believed to be a result of the interception of the intermediate ...
