Composite Materials with Improved Properties in Compression. Appendix 3. Synthesis of 3-Methylene-1,1-dichlorosilacyclobutane and 1,1- Dichlorosilacyclopent-3-ene
Abstract
Silacyclobutanes have played an important role in the development of modern silicon chemistry. For example, silacyclobutanes serve as precursors to carbon-silicon double bonded intermediates silenes as well as to pentacoordinate silicon anions in the gas phase. Silacyclobutanes also undergo facile ring opening polymerization. Despite the importance of this ring system surprisingly few functionalized silacyclobutanes and silacyclobutenes have been prepared. Similarly, there is considerable interest in 1-silacyclo-pent-3-enes due to their facile conversion into other functionalized silicon heterocycles as well as due to their ability to undergo anionic ring opening polymerization. These compounds have usually been prepared by reaction of a 1,3-diene with a dihalosilane under dissolving metal reduction conditions. (jes)
