Stéréochimie des réactions de réactifs de grignard au niveau de l'atome de silicium d'un cyclosilane asymétrique

The stereochemistry of coupling reactions of Grignard reagents and symetrical organomagnesium compounds with the silicon atom of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-(1-naphthyl)-2-silanaphthalene is studied. The results show that the electrophilic at the leaving group, by the metal atom is not a main factor for the retention of the configuration. It is possible to give a first explanaion of the stereochemical pathway of these reactions by considerig the “hard and soft” character of the attacking organometallic as well as polarisability of the leaving group.
