Abstract
The title compound, C22H22Si, is a benzosilacyclopentene in which the silacyclopentene ring assumes an envelope conformation. The Si atom is displaced by 0.722 (4) Å from the mean plane of the four C atoms, and is bonded to two methyl groups and to two Csp3 atoms in the silacyclopentene ring. One phenyl ring is attached to each of these two C atoms in a cis configuration. The Si atom and the two methyl groups lie on a crystallographic mirror plane which relates the two halves of the molecule. The average Si—Cmethyl bond distance is 1.852 (3) Å. The Si—Csp3 bond distance is 1.886 (2) Å, and the corresponding Csp3—Si—Csp3 angle is 93.0 (1)°. The displacement ellipsoids for the atoms in the fused benzene ring suggest a probable disorder, but no satisfactory disorder model could be found.
