Carbanion mechanisms XVIII. Generation of silyl anions by nucleophilic cleavage of disilanes

Organosilyl potassium compounds are conveniently generated by cleavage of hexaorganodisilanes with potassium t-butoxide in common solvents other than HMPA (i.e. in THF or DME).Nucleophilic attack on unsymmetrical disilanes results in formation of the more
