Synthesis, Properties, and Reactions of Hexasilyl-3,3'-bicyclopropenyls and Related Compounds

Silylation of tetrachlorocyclopropene with trialkylchlorosilanes and magnesium in the presence of HMPA gave hexasilyl-3,3'-bicyclopropenyls or conjugated polymers containing both silylcyclopropene and silylallene moieties.Some reactions of these compounds were described.

UNE VOIE D'ACCES RAPIDE ET PRATIQUE AU TETRAKIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)-ALLENE ET AU BIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)-1,3 PROPYNE

Complete silylation of hexachlorobenzene using the Me3SiCl/Li/THF reagent at 0oC quantitatively affords tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)allene.This last upon a double protodesilylation with F3CCOOH at 0o, leads to the quantitative formation of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)propyne via the 1,3,3-tris(trimethylsilyl)propyne.
