Abstract
Abstract The compounds pentamethyldisilane and 1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilane have been prepared and characterized. Pentamethyldisilane adds to 1-octene and methylcylohexene in the presence of peroxides or ultraviolet light in the normal way to give high yields of alkylpentamethyldisilanes. 1,1,2,2-Tetramethyldisilane also adds to 1-octene in the presence of peroxides to give the normal 1:1 addition product and a mixture of telomers. Chloroplatinic acid-catalyzed reaction of pentamethyldisilane with olefins resulted in much cleavage of the SiSi bond and yielded only traces of the expected addition product.
