Silenes thermal

Matrix IR spectra of various silenes are important analytical features and allow detection of these intermediates in very complex reaction mixtures. Thus, the vibrational frequencies of Me2Si=CH2 were used in the study of the pyrolysis mechanism of allyltrimethylsilane [120] (Mal tsev et al., 1983). It was found that two pathways occur simultaneously for this reaction (Scheme 6). On the one hand, thermal destruction of the silane [120] results in formation of propylene and silene [117] (retroene reaction) on the other hand, homolytic cleavage of the Si—C bond leads to the generation of free allyl and trimethylsilyl radicals. While both the silene [117] and allyl radical [115] were stabilized and detected in the argon matrix, the radical SiMc3 was unstable under the pyrolysis conditions and decomposed to form low-molecular products. [Pg.46]

Generally, only simple silenes having small groups (H, Me, CH2=CH) are obtained as transient species from the thermolysis of silacyclobutanes. In part this is due to the high temperatures (usually above 450°C) required for the ring cleavage. Substitution on the carbon atom adjacent to silicon in the ring can lead to carbon-substituted silenes. 1,3-Disilacyclobutanes do not readily revert to silenes under thermal conditions, but examples... [Pg.73]

While the decomposition of silacyclobutanes as a source of silenes has continued to be studied in the last two decades, the interest has largely focused on mechanisms and kinetic parameters. However, a few reports are listed in Table I of the presumed formation of silenes having previously unpublished substitution patterns, prepared either thermally or photo-chemically from four-membered ring compounds containing silicon. Two cases of particular interest involve the apparent formation of bis-silenes. Very low-pressure pyrolysis of l,4-bis(l-methyl-l-silacyclobutyl)ben-zene94 apparently formed the bis-silene 1, as shown in Eq. (2), which formed a high-molecular-weight polymer under conditions of chemical vapor deposition. [Pg.75]

A few routes to new silenes, usually involving flash vacuum pyrolysis at high temperatures, have been reported. Silenes were proposed as the result of the thermal expulsion of trimethylmethoxysilane, or a similar volatile fragment, from the starting material but frequently, proof that the silenes proposed to account for the observed products were in fact formed was not provided.116 119 The other thermal route employed was the retro-Diels-Alder regeneration of a silene from an adduct with an aromatic compound—often a 9,10-anthracene or 1,4-naphthalene adduct or, in some cases, a 1,4-benzene adduct, as illustrated in Eq. (19).120... [Pg.85]

Klingebiel32 observed a related insertion with the silene 131 (Eq. 47), which gave the product 132 under the thermal conditions of its formation. Surprisingly, the regiochemistry of the C—H addition to the Si=C bond was opposite to the case in Eq. (46). [Pg.140]

A second category of silene reactions involves interactions with tt-bonded reagents which may include homonuclear species such as 1,3-dienes, alkynes, alkenes, and azo compounds as well as heteronuclear reagents such as carbonyl compounds, imines, and nitriles. Four modes of reaction have been observed nominal [2 + 2] cycloaddition (thermally forbidden on the basis of orbital symmetry considerations), [2 + 4] cycloadditions accompanied in some cases by the products of apparent ene reactions (both thermally allowed), and some cases of (allowed) 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. [Pg.28]

Photolysis of acyldisilanes at A > 360 nm (103,104) was shown, based on trapping experiments, to yield both silenes 22 and the isomeric siloxy-carbenes 23, but with polysilylacylsilanes only silenes 24 are formed, as shown by trapping experiments and NMR spectroscopy (104,122-124) (see Scheme 4). These silenes react conventionally with alcohols, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene (with one or two giving some evidence of minor amounts of ene-like products), and in a [2 + 2] manner with phenyl-propyne. Ketones, however, do not react cleanly. Perhaps the most unusual behavior of this family of silenes is their exclusive head-to-head dimerization as described in Section V. More recently it has been found that these silenes undergo thermal [2 + 2] reactions with butadiene itself (with minor amounts of the [2 + 4] adduct) and with styrene and vinyl-naphthalene. Also, it has been found that a dimethylsilylene precursor will... [Pg.33]

Barton has reported a wide variety of elegant studies in which various silenes or silylenes have been created, usually thermally, and their subsequent rearrangements investigated in terms of the observed products of trapping (51,53,65,145). It has been clearly established that interconversion between silenes and silylenes, especially where H atoms or Me3Si groups migrate, are facile processes. In some cases, radicals can be the precursors to silenes (65). [Pg.36]

We theoretically studied the reactions of stable West silylenes 32 and 73 with phosphorus ylide H2C=PMe3.74 Similarly to the simplest analogs of carbenes, these compounds can form betaines in which the negative charge is localized on the silicon atom and the positive charge is localized on the phosphorus atom. These betaines can thermally decompose to form silenes (direction A, Scheme 39) or be isomerized to ylides via direction B. [Pg.87]

Silenes formed in direction A can exothermically be dimerized to form dimers of two types (head-to-tail and head-to-head), which differ in thermal stability (Scheme 40). The energy parameters of these reactions are presented in Table XVIII. [Pg.87]

The effect of ring substituents on the rate constants, deuterium kinetic isotope effects and Arrhenius parameters for ene-additions of acetone to 1,1-diphenylsilane have been explained in terms of a mechanism involving fast, reversible formation of a zwitterionic silene-ketone complex, followed by a rate-limiting proton transfer between the a-carbonyl and silenic carbon. A study of the thermal and Lewis acid-catalysed intramolecular ene reactions of allenylsilanes with a variety of... [Pg.543]

The products of the thermolysis of 3-phenyl-5-(arylamino)-l,2,4-oxadiazoles and thiazoles have been accounted for by a radical mechanism.266 Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1,3-dithiolane-1-oxides has led to thiocarbonyl compounds, but the transformation is not general.267 hi an ongoing study of silacyclobutane pyrolysis, CASSF(4,4), MR-CI and CASSCF(4,4)+MP2 calculations using the 3-21G and 6-31G basis sets have modelled the reaction between silenes and ethylene, suggesting a cyclic transition state from which silacyclobutane or a trcins-biradical are formed.268 An AMI study of the thermolysis of 1,3,3-trinitroazacyclobutane and its derivatives has identified gem-dinitro C—N bond homolysis as the initial reaction.269 Similar AMI analysis has determined the activation energy of die formation of NCh from methyl nitrate.270 Thermal decomposition of nitromethane in a shock tube (1050-1400 K, 0.2-40 atm) was studied spectrophotometrically, allowing determination of rate constants.271... [Pg.166]

The potential surface for die gradient path addition of ethylene to silene and the possible existence and stability of intermediates in the thermal decomposition reaction of silacyclobutane has been explored.38 The energy maximum of die multi-step process corresponds to a cyclic transition state leading on one side to a planar silacyclobutane transition state which falls to ground-state puckered silacyclobutane and on the other side to a trans diradical which fragments to ethylene and silene. [Pg.375]

Bis(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (25) represents an excellent source for silene 2641. It appears that carbene 3c, which is expected from the photochemical or thermal decomposition of 25, escapes most trapping efforts due to rapid isomerization to silene 26 (equation 7). Photolysis of 25 in benzene solution yields 27 and 28 in a combined yield of 64% and disilazane 29 (10%) all these products are likely to be derived from 26. Similarly, photolysis in the presence of methanol or I)20 traps the silene quantitatively (to give 31 and 32). [Pg.716]

Conlin and coworkers have prepared (E)- and (Z)-l,l,2,3-tetramethylsilacyclobutanes 5 and have studied the mechanism of their thermal decomposition in order to gain insight into the stereochemistry of the thermal decomposition of silacyclobutanes20. The occurrence of transient 1,4-biradicals like 6 in [2 + 2] fragmentations is accompanied by a loss of the reactant stereochemistry. This can be rationalized by rotational processes in the diradical 6 (6a —> 6b) which compete effectively with the -scission steps yielding the silene 2 and E/Z 2-butene 7 (equation 3). [Pg.861]

Grobe, Auner and coworkers studied the thermal decomposition of 22,1 and methylsilacyclobutane 14 under low pressure flow pyrolysis conditions26. They characterized the transient silenes 2, 25 and 26 by mass spectrometric methods and by low temperature NMR spectroscopy of the adducts 27-29 of the silenes with hexadeuteriomethyl ether (equation 6)27. [Pg.863]

The photochemical decomposition of bis(silyldiazomethyl)tetrasilane 320 produces one silene group to give 321 followed by intramolecular [2 + 3] silene-diazo cycloaddition via 322 to give the bicyclic compound 323 as final product, while thermal decomposition gives a bis-silene 324 which then undergoes head-to-tail dimerization168,169 to... [Pg.906]

The stereospecificity of methanol addition to neopentylsilenes has been investigated by Jones and Bates68. The mild thermal retro-Diels-Alder reaction (at ca 200 °C) of E and Z anthracene [4 + 2] cycloadducts 110 liberates stereospecifically the corresponding silenes 111, which are trapped by methanol. The ratio of the diastereomeric products 396a/396b coincides with the E/Z ratio of the precursors 110 (equation 117). In photochemical reactions of similar silene precursors, alcohols were used also to probe the decomposition mechanism69. [Pg.934]

The same authors investigated the photochemical and thermal oxidation of 2-silapropene 12, silaisobutene 7 and 1,1,2-trimethylsilene 13 in O2-doped argon matrices (equation 5)28. These silenes are easily photooxidized in matrices containing more than 1% 62, but only trimethylsilene 13 exhibits thermal reactivity toward oxygen at temperatures as low as 20-40 K. [Pg.1147]
