Abstract

Photolysis of p-tolylpentamethyldisilane (6) in the presence of isobutylene afforded crucial evidence for the migration of the trimethylsilyl group from silicon to the ortho carbon in the aromatic ring. Thus 2-trimethylsilyl-4-methylisobutyldimethylsilylbenzene (7)'O was obtained in 58% yield as a single product.
