Reaction of Hypercoordinate Dichlorosilanes Bearing 8-(Dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl Group(s) with Magnesium: Formation of the 1,2-Disilaacenaphthene Skeleton (SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-Synthetic Design)

Abstract

The reaction of a hypercoordinate dichlorosilane bearing an 8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl group(s) with magnesium affords a dimeric product that contains a 1, 2-disilaacenaphthene skeleton arising from silicon.silicon and silicon.naphthyl carbon bond formation and amino group migration from the naphthyl carbon atom to the coordinated silicon atom.
