Z,E-ISOMERS OF 10,10-DIMETHYL-9-BENZYLIDENE-9,10-DIHYDRO-10-SILA-2-AZAANTHRACENE AND REACTIONS OF 10,10-DIMETHYL-9,10-DIHYDRO-10-SILA-2-AZAANTHRACENE UNDER CONDITIONS OF BASIC CATALYSIS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00476548

The synthesis of 9-benzylidenesilaazaanthracenes has been achieved, and the configurations of their Z- and E-isomers have been established.The reactions of silaazaanthracene in the presence of aromatic aldehydes and bases have been studied; these result in dimerization, oxidation, cleavage of the Si-C bond, and desilylation of the heterocyclic system.
