Abstract

Abstract 1, 1, 3, 4-tetramethyl-3-phenylcarbamoyl-1-silacyclopent-4-ene is found to undergo quantitative decomposition in refluxing CCl 4 to regiospecifically afford 1, 1, 3, 4- tetramethylsilole which is remarkably stable toward dimerisation, and is easily converted into its iron carbonyl-diene complex.
