The dichloromethyloligosilanes R1(Me3Si)2Si−CHCl2 (1a,b) (1a: R1 = Me; 1b: R1 = Ph), prepared by treatment of methylbis(trimethylsilyl)silane or phenylbis(trimethylsilyl)silane respectively, with chloroform and potassium tert‐butoxide, treated with the organolithium reagents R2Li (R2 = Me, Ph) to produce the intermediate organolithium derivatives R1R22Si−CLi(SiMe3)2 (10). Hydrolysis of 10 during the aqueous workup afforded the [bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]silanes R1R22Si−CH(SiMe3)2 (2); quenching of the reaction mixture with chlorotrimethylsilane gave the [tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl]silanes R1R22Si−C(SiMe3)3 (11). The formation of 10 is discussed as proceeding through a remarkable series of isomerization processes involving the transient silenes R1R2Si=C(SiMe3)2 (7), which in the presence of an effective excess of R2Li are immediately trapped to give 10. By the use of sterically congested organolithium derivatives, the nucleophilic addition of R2Li to the Si=C bond of 7 can be prevented and kinetically stabilized silenes obtained. Thus, Ph(2,4,6‐iPr3C6H2)Si=C(SiMe3)2 (8b) was synthesized by the reaction of 1b with 2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyllithium (molar ratio 1:2). Similarly, (Me3Si)(2,4,6‐iPr3C6H2)Si=C(SiMe3)2 (8c) and (Me3Si)(2‐tBu‐4,5,6‐Me3C6H)Si=C(SiMe3)2 (9c) were prepared from (dichloromethyl)tris(trimethylsilyl)silane (1c) and 2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyllithium or 1c and 2‐tert‐butyl‐4,5,6‐trimethylphenyllithium (1:2), respectively, but due to difficulties in the separation of starting material and side products, 8b, 8c, and 9c were obtained in impure form only. Despite the steric congestion, the compounds are reactive and exhibit the usual behavior of silenes. Thus 8b, 8c, and 9c were chemically characterized by the reaction with water to give silanols, by the addition of methanol to give methoxysilanes and by formal [2+2] cycloadditions with benzaldehyde to afford stable 1,2‐oxasiletanes. 1‐Methyl‐1‐(2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyl)‐2,2‐bis(trimethylsilyl)silene (8a), produced as intermediate from 1a and 2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyllithium (1:2), proved to be unstable in the presence of excess aryllithium compound. Thus, only the addition product Me(2,4,6‐iPr3C6H2)2SiCH(SiMe3)2 (14) was isolated (after hydrolysis).
