Abstract
The reaction of benzylidene dichlorides or benzylidyne trichlorides with 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilane or hexamethyldisilane proceeded smoothly in the presence of acatalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4 to give (E)-stilbenes or (E)- and (Z)-α,β-dichlorostilbenes in high yields, respectively. Also, in the presence of the palladium(0) catalyst, α,α-dichlorobenzyltrimethylsilanes reacted with hexamethyldisilane yielding (E)-α,β-bis(trimethylsilyl)stilbenes in quantitative yield.
