3,4-Dilithio-2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene (4a) rearranges to the cross-conjugated 2,5-dimethylhexadienediyl dianion 11a. A mechanistic investigation proves the intermolecularity of this rearrangement, which is also observed when starting from 4b. The 3-lithio-2,5-dimethylhexadienyl anion 10a with one vinyllithium and one allyllithium group, is a true intermediate in this rearrangement, its synthetic potential is employed in the reaction with dichlorosilanes to form 2-isopropylidene-2,5-dihydrosilols 8.
