Unexpected synthesis of a naphthylsilole

  • Published:
Silicon Chemistry

Abstract

The reaction of 1,4-dilithiotetraphenylbutadiene (2) with 1,1′-dichloro-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silole (3) leads to 2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-(1,2,3-triphenylnaphthalen-4-yl)-1H-silole (5) instead of the expected octaphenyl-1,1′-spirobisilole (1). The reaction of 2 with SiC14 in dioxane produced 1 in low yield, confirming results reported earlier.
