Abstract

To synthesize 4B-group element-containing styrene monomers, alkylmetalation reactions of 4-methylstyrene (1) in the presence of lithium diisopropylamide (2) were investigated. Trialkylsilylation of 1 proceeded easily by the reaction with trialkylsilyl chloride in the presence of 2 to form mono-and bis-trialkylsilylated methylstyrene. This synthetic method was expanded to other 4B-element-containing styrenes such as germyl and stannyl ...
