A solid silaethylene, 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-(trimethylsiloxy)-1-(1-adamantyl)-1-silaethene (2c), has been isolated from the photolysis of the isomeric acylsilane.The silaethylene was characterized by IR, Raman, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 29Si NMR, and mass spectroscopy and by its ionization potential.The crystal structure shows a slightly twisted molecule with a silicn-carbon double-bond length of 1.764 Angstroem.The molecule smokes vigorously in air, yielding a cyclic trisiloxane and the silyl ester of adamantane-1-carboxylic acid.Other reactions and comparisons with other silaethylenes in solution are described.In addition, 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-(1,1-diethylpropyl)-1-silaethene (2b) has been obtained as a solid.

The elucidation of a robust and reliable sequence for the generation of highly reactive transient silenes from simple aldehydes is described. The key step involves a silyl-modified Peterson olefination which critically depends on the presence of a sub-sto
A new and easy route to polysilanylpotassium compounds

A method is presented for the synthesis of tertiary, secondary, and primary polysilylpotassium compounds. Reaction of potassium tert-butoxide, in either DME or THF, with a suitable precursor molecule, proceeds by cleavage of a trimethylsilyl - polysilanyl bond, and formation of trimethylsilyl tert-butyl ether and a polysilanylpotassium compound. This route allows easy and flexible access to a number of novel polysilanylpotassium compounds, avoiding the hitherto common use of poisonous mercury compounds.
