Reactions of an Isolable Dialkylsilylene with Aroyl Chlorides. A New Route to Aroylsilanes

Molecules. 2016 Oct 15;21(10):1376. doi: 10.3390/molecules21101376.

Abstract

The reactions of isolable dialkylsilylene 1 with aromatic acyl chlorides afforded aroylsilanes 3a-3c exclusively. Aroylsilanes 3a-3c were characterized by ¹H-, 13C-, and 29Si-NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and single-crystal molecular structure analysis. The reaction mechanisms are discussed in comparison with related reaction of 1 with chloroalkanes and chlorosilanes.

Keywords: X-ray analysis; acylsilane; dialkylsilylene; insertion; silyl ketone.
