Alkenylchlorosilanes functionalized by coordinatively unsaturated Al atoms, R′′(R′)Si(Cl)C(AltBu 2 )=C(H)R 5 [R = tBu, cHex, 1-Ad, Ph, 3,5-(F 3 C) 2 C 6 H 3 ; R′ = Mes, Ph, 4-tBuC 6 H 4 , 4-tBuOC 6 H 4 , 4-Et 2 NC 6 H 4 , tBu; R′′ = Mes, CH(SiMe 3 ) 2 , tBu], were obtained in good yields by hydroalumination of the respective alkynylchlorosilanes R′′(R′)Si(Cl)C≡C-R 3 with t Bu 2 Al-H. They feature four-membered, close to planar SiCAlCl heterocycles by intramolecular Al-Cl interactions. The activation of the Si-Cl bonds results in bond lengthening from about 209 pm in 3 to 220 to 225 pm in compounds 5. The 29 Si NMR resonances show an increasing shift to a lower field and range from δ = 24.0 for 5a [R = tBu, R′ = R′′ = Mes] to δ = 68.1 for 5j [R = R′ = R′′ = [a]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
