Abstract
The dimesitylneopentylsilene Mes 2Si CHCH 2 tBu 1 is obtained in almost quantitative yield by reaction of tert-butyllithium with dimetisylvinylfluorosilane 4; 1 is certainly one of the most easily available stable silenes. In spite of its stability, 1 presents a high reactivity in the field of classical chemistry of organometallic alkenes such as addition or cycloaddition reactions and, in some cases, an original behaviour of ene-reagent (towards benzaldehyde) and both ene- and enophilic-reagent (towards acetophenone).
