Halodesilylation Route to 2,5-Difunctionalized 3,4-Dialkylsiloles and Their Derivatization to 2,2'-Bisilole
文摘
A new synthetic route to 2,5-difunctionalized 3,4-dialkylsiloles has been developed basedon the selective halodesilylation of 2,5-disilyl-1,1,3,4-tetraalkylsiloles. A series of 2,5-dihalosiloles having various alkyl groups on silicon and at the 3,4-positions were prepared.Some 2,5-dihalosiloles were further derivatized to unsymmetrical 2,5-difunctionalized siloleshaving boron or tin functionalities. A silole dimer, 2,2'-bisilole, was also prepared by theoxidative coupling using a copper complex starting from the 2,5-diiodosiloles. The crystalstructure and UV-vis absorption spectral data of the 2,2'-bisilole have been compared tothe 3,4-diphenyl analogue which we previously reported.
