Synthesis and Reactivity Studies of Zwitterionic Silenes and 2-SilenolatesGuliashvili, Tamaz January 2004 (has links)
<p>This thesis describes synthesis and reactivity studies of 2-amino-2-siloxysilenes and 2-silenolates, species that are strongly influenced by reversed Si=C bond polarization, i.e. an Si<sup>δ-</sup>=C<sup>δ+</sup> polarization as compared to the natural Si<sup>δ+</sup>=C<sup>δ-</sup> polarization.

These silenes have structure and reactivity characteristics that differ from earlier studied Si=C bonded compounds. They are thermodynamically stable toward dimerization and react with 1,3-dienes to give exclusively [4+2] cycloadducts. Their reactions with 1,3-dienes proceed in accordance with inverse electron demand (IED) Diels-Alder reactions which is explained by the electron-rich nature of these silenes. The 2-amino-2-siloxysilenes are also less reactive toward alcohols than earlier silenes.

This thesis describes synthesis and reactivity studies of 2-amino-2-siloxysilenes and 2-silenolates, species that are strongly influenced by reversed Si=C bond polarization, i.e. an Siδ-=Cδ+ polarization as compared to the natural Siδ+=Cδ- polarization. Because of the reversed polarization, the 2-amino-2-siloxysilenes are zwitterions and the 2-silenolates are predominantly described by the resonance structure with the negative charge at Si. Transient zwitterionic 2-amino-2-siloxysilenes are formed thermolytically from carbamylpolysilanes (tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamides) and trapped with 1,3-dienes in nearly quantitative yields.
