Reactions of vinyldisilanes with ruthenium carbonyl

Reaction of beta-styrylpentamethyldisilane (1a) with Ru-3(CO)(12) afforded beta-styryltrimethylsilane (2a) with elimination of a dimethylsilylene unit, while under similar conditions alpha-isomer 1b yielded 2a together with 1a. Studies on these reactions suggest the formation of silapropenyl and sil...

Summary:Reaction of beta-styrylpentamethyldisilane (1a) with Ru-3(CO)(12) afforded beta-styryltrimethylsilane (2a) with elimination of a dimethylsilylene unit, while under similar conditions alpha-isomer 1b yielded 2a together with 1a. Studies on these reactions suggest the formation of silapropenyl and silylene ruthenium complexes as key intermediates.
