摘要

Electrochemical reductive tert-butyldimethylsilylation of tetrachlorocyclopropene to 1,2,3-tris(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)cyclopropene, a potential strained precursor for Diels-Alder and related cycloaddition reactions, is described. By hydride abstraction with nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate, 1,2,3-tris(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)cyclopropene is ionized quantitatively to Hückeloid 2pi aromatic tris(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)cyclopropenium tetrafluoroborate.
