The reaction of benzylidene dichlorides or benzylidene trichlorides with 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-disilane or hexamethyldisilane proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh//3)//4 to give (E)-stilbenes or (E)- and (Z)- alpha beta -dichlorostilbenes in high yields, respectively. Also, in the presence of the palladium (0) catalyst, alpha , alpha -dichlorobenzyltrimethylsilanes reacted with hexamethyldisilane yielding (E)- alpha , beta -bis(trimethylsilyl)stilbenes in quantitative yield.
