Treatment of 1-aryl-2,5-diphenylpyrroles with lithium powder in tetrahydrofuran at 0 °C results in the generation of the corresponding aryllithium reagents through reductive C-N bond cleavage.

- Kinetic Control in the Cleavage of Unsymmetrical Disilanes
-
A series of 12 phenyl-substituted arylpentamethyldisilanes 1a-1 have been synthesized in order to examine the regioselectivity of their nucleophilic Si,Si bond cleavage reactions under Still's conditions (MeLi/HMPA/0°C). It has been found that the sensitivity of these reactions to the electronic effects of the substituents in the phenyl ring could be described by the Hammett-type equation log(kA/kB) = 0.4334 + 2.421(Σσ); (correlation coefficient R = 0.983). The kA/kB ratio represents the relative rate of attack at silicon atom A (linked to the aryl ring) or at silicon atom B (away from the aryl ring) of the unsymmetrical disilanes. Thus, the present investigation shows that the earlier belief according to which the nucleophilic cleavage of unsymmetrical disilanes always produces the more stable silyl anionic species (thermodynamic control) should be abandoned, or at least seriously amended: kinetic factors appear to exert a primary influence on the regioselectivity of such reactions. Since the two major kinetic factors (i.e., electrophilic character of and steric hindrance at a given silicon atom) have opposite effects on the orientation of the reaction, it may happen that kinetic and thermodynamic control lead to the same result. For some of the unsymmetrical disilanes studied, the major reaction path was not the Si,Si bond cleavage; instead, Si-aryl bond breaking occurred, producing the corresponding aryl anions.

- Multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies of aryltrimethylsilanes and aryldimethylphosphaneboranes
-
Proton, boron-11, carbon-13, silicon-29, and phosphorus-31 NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants are reported for nine ortho- and 2,6-disubstituted aryltrimethylsilanes and five similarly substituted aryldimethylphosphaneboranes.Resonances in the natural-abundance carbon-13 NMR spectra for both sets of derivatives are assigned on the basis of additivity relationships, proton-coupled spectra, and relative magnitudes of 31P-13C)> coupling constants.Carbon-13 chemical shifts and 1J(13C-1H)> coupling constants indicate that the P(BH3)(CH3)2 group is electron-withdrawing.The 13C chemical shifts of aryl C(5) carbons can be attributed to steric inhibition of resonance of about the same magnitude as that produced by ortho-Si(CH3)3.Chemical shift and coupling constant data from previous work are expanded in terms of Taft's dual substituent constants ?1 and ?R0.Least squares solutions of these equations for aryldimethylphosphaneborane derivatives provide values of 0.41 for ?1 and 0.04 for ?R0 for the P(BH3)(CH3)2 group.These constants produce reasonable agreement wit observed 13C chemical shifts and coupling constants in the ortho derivatives.
