- Highly stereoselective synthesis of novel trans-thiophenylene-silylene- vinylene-arylene molecular and macromolecular compounds
-
Novel stereoregular molecular compounds 8-13 containing thiophenylene-silylene-vinylene-phenylene units have been synthesised via highly effective silylative coupling of styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene (7) with respective vinylsilylthiophenes (3, 4) and bis(vinylsilyl)thiophenes (5, 6) catalyzed by RuHClCO(PCy3)2. Respective copolymers (14, 15) were produced via silylative copolycondensation of 5 and 6 with 7. All products were isolated and characterised by NMR, MS, HRMS and two of them 10 and 11 by X-ray method. Catalytic study as well as stoichiometric reactions of Ru-H (1) with 2-(vinylsilyl)thiophene (3) and Ru-Si (16) with styrene confirmed the mechanism of the silylative coupling olefins with vinylsilicon compounds.
