Abstract
6,6-Dimethyl-6-silafulvene generated from (allyl)(cyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilane reacts with a trapping reagent such as methanol, benzaldehyde, and benzophenone to give (cyclopentadienyl)(methoxy)dimethylsilane, 6-phenylfulvene, and 6,6-diphenylfulvene, respectively. Without a trapping reagent, the silafulvene undergoes dimerization.
