Abstract

Abstract: The reactivity of l-chloro-l-silabicyclo [2.2. l] heptane (IIa), a highly angle-strained bridgehead organosilicon chloride, l-chloro-3, 5, 7-trimethyl-l, 3, 5, 7-tetrasilaadamantane (Ib), a relatively unstrained bridgehead or-ganosilicon chloride, and tris (trimethylsilylmethy1) chlorosilane (IIIa), the acyclic analog of Ib, toward a variety of nucleophilic reagents was investigated. Both IIa and IIIa were found to be much more ...
