Abstract: Reaction of a variety of (chloromethy1) vinylsilanes and AlCl, affords cyclopropylchlorosilane products. These reactions are most economically viewed as proceeding via@ closure of the initially formed carbocation to produce silacyclopropylcarbinyl cations which either rearrange to cyclopropylsilylenium ions or can be quenched directly by chloride to yield allylic chlorosilanes. Alkyl substitution at the ...
