A variety of alkyllithium (R = Me, Bu, t-Bu) reagents and potassium tert-butoxide were added to the highly reactive silene Mes2Si=CHCH2t-Bu (1) and the germene Mes2Ge=CHCH2t-Bu (4) in diethyl ether. 1,2-Addition products were obtained regioselectively and in good yield after treatment with a weak acid with no evidence for any rearrangement products and no polymerization observed. The reactivity of the silene 1 and germene 4 toward organometallic reagents is compared to previous studies of analogous silenes and germenes. (Chemical Equation Presented).
Reactivity of a polar silene toward terminal alkynes: Preference for C-H insertion over cycloaddition

experimental part, p. 5972 - 5981 (2011/02/27)
A variety of terminal alkynes were added to Mes2Si=CHCH 2t-Bu, 4, a naturally polarized silene. Three different modes of reactivity were observed: addition across the acetylenic C-H bond to give silylacetylenes 6a-i and 12, cycloaddi

The simple synthesis in nearly quantitative yield of dimesitylneopentylsilene 3, the first stable silene in the neopentyl series, was performed using t-butyllithium and dimesitylvinylfluorosilane. 3 was isolated by crystallization from pentane and charact
