Dimethylsilylene reacts with oxetane to give high yields of allyloxydimethylsilane and 2,2-dimethyl-1-oxa-2-silacyclopentane.These products result from decomposition of an initial 1,2-zwitterionic intermediate which is formed by coordination of the electrophilic dimethylsilylene with the oxygen of oxetane.Similar results have been obtained from the reactions of dimethylsilylene with 2-methyloxetane, 2,2-dimethyloxetane, 3,3-dimethyloxetane, and 2-vinyloxetane.
