Abstract
The reaction of [(2-N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl]methylvinylchlorosilane with t-BuLi in hexane solvent gave dimers, five isomeric 1,3-disilacyclobutanes which were separated and characterized. In trapping experiments with various trapping agents, no corresponding silene-trapping adduct was observed. We s uggest that more important species for the formation of five isomeric dimers might be the zwitterionic species generated by virtue of intramolecular donor atom rather than the silene.
