Dehydrosilylation reaction

Dehydrosilylation reaction. While the dehalosilylation reaction is very powerful for the synthesis of Ga—Sb and In—Sb heterocycles, this reaction type completely failed for the synthesis of the corresponding stibinoalanes. Only the reaction of Me2AlCl with Sb(Tms)3, leading to the formation of [Me(Gl)AlSb(Tms)2]3 38, yielded an Al—Sb heterocycle [36a]. However, 38 obviously was not formed by dehalosilylation but by tetramethylsilane elimination reaction (Scheme 9).

Ga - Sb heterocycles can also be synthesized by the dehydrosilylation reaction, whereas the lack of stable dialkylindanes R2lnH inhibited the synthesis of In - Sb heterocycles, to date. 

The most striking feature of this reaction type is the simple formation of completely alkyl-substituted M - Sb heterocycles, which are hardly accessible by dehalosilylation and dehydrosilylation reactions due to the tendency of silylsubstituted dialkylstibines R2SbSiMe3 to undergo ligand exchange reactions at elevated temperatures, leading to the synthesis of partially silylsubstituted hetero cycles [28].
