Abstract
Abstract The addition of trimethylsilane to 1,5- and 1,3-cyclooctadiene in the presence of any platinum catalyst [chloroplatinic acid, trans -dichloro(ethylene)(pyridine)platinum(II), and 5%-platinum on carbon] always gave 3-(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctene almost exclusively. On the other hand, the benzoyl peroxide initiated addition of trichlorosilane to 1,5-cylcooctadiene followed by methylation gave 2-(trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[3.3.0]octane. Both peroxide initiated and chloroplatinic acid catalyzed hydrosilations of bicyclo[3.3.0]octene-2 produced essentially the same mixture of 2- and 3-silyl-substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]octane.
