Abstract
Photooxygenation of 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopentadiene afforded 2,4-dioxa-3-silabicyc[3.2.0]hept-6-ene(III) together with dibenzoylstilbene. The former was converted to isodidesyl and didesyl by treatment on alumina. Valence bond isomerization of III to 1,3-dioxa-2-silacyclohepta-4,6-diene occurs both thermally and photochemically.
