Abstract

Abstract The chemical behavior of alkali metal adducts of α, β-unsaturated organosilanes was investigated by generating the adducts with lithium or potassium metal in donor solvents at− 78 C and studying the ensuing reduction, bimolecular coupling, cleavage and isomerization processes. Chosen for study were the triphenylvinyl derivatives of silicon, germanium and tin, as well as other vinyl-, phenyl-, allyl-, 1, 3-alkadienyl-, 1-alkynyl-and ...
