Organometallic Precursors to Cyclic OrganosilanesLim, Thomas Fay-Oy 05 1900 (has links)
This investigation deals with the preparations of cyclic organosilanes via two different types of organometallic precursors: borane adducts to chlorovinylsilanes and tertbutyllithium adducts to chlorovinylsilanes. The regiospecificity of the hydroboration of various types of boranes to chlorovinylsilanes was studied by three different methods. It was found that, by using bulky hydroborating agents, about 80% isomerically pure terminal borane adducts to chlorovinylsilanes could be obtained. While the adducts are potential precursors to silacyclopropanes, when these borane adducts were treated with bases such as sodium methoxide and methyl Grignard, no evidence for silacyclopropane formation was found.
