Abstract: | Ring enlargement of silicon heterocycles is accomplished from derivatives which contain an exocyclic chloromethyl substituent by reaction with aluminum halide catalyst or with potassium fluoride. Tricyclic derivatives with a silicon atom in a central five-, six-, or seven-membered ring form silins, silepins and silocins, respectively, and are isolated by quenching the product chlorosilanes with H2O, MeOH, Na/MeOH, LiAlH4, MeMgBr or MeLi. A stoichiometric quantity of fluoride ion also results in conversion of 9-chloromethyl-9-silaanthracene to 5-fluoro-dibenzob,e] silepin but the percent conversion of the 9-iodomethyl precursor is higher. The limitations of the two methods are discussed briefly. |
