Thermally generated dimethylsilylene reacts with 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene to give 1,1-dimethyl-4,5-diphenyl-1-silacyclo-2-pentene.A mechanism involving homolytic C-C bond cleavage of the intermediate vinylsilacyclopropane is suggested.Dimethylsilylene also undergoes a novel silylene-silylene exchange reaction with 1-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole.
