Abstract: | The reduction of 1-chloro-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole, (C4Ph4SiPhCl, 1) with 2 equiv lithium gave the pentaphenylsilole anion C4Ph4SiPh]− (2), silole dianion C4Ph4Si]2− (3), and hexaphenylsilole C4Ph4SiPh2 (4). 2, 3, and 4 from the reaction mixture were characterized by 29Si NMR spectroscopy. The 29Si chemical shift of 3.7 ppm for 2 is shifted upfield as compared to that of previously reported t -butyltetraphenylsilole anion LiC4Ph4SitBu], but shifted downfield compared to that of the other silole monoanion such as LiC4Me4SiSiMe3], indicating the delocalization of silole anion through the 5-membered ring. Derivatization of the reaction mixture with iodomathane gave C4Ph4SiPh2 (4), C4Ph4SiMePh (5), and C4Ph4SiMe2 (6), which were characterized by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy. The silole dianion 3 could be either from the continuous reduction of 1 with lithium or from the disproportionation of 2. The reduction of 1 with excess lithium in THF gave the silole dianion C4Ph4Si]2− in about 70% yield. |
