When Ph2Si(C≡CCMe3)2 is treated with a cationic Pt-H reagent, a 4-alkylidene-1-silacyclobutenyl ring system is formed. Evidence for the presence of two intermediates in this reaction sequence is obtained by using selective trapping reactions. Acetic acid cleaves at Pt-C bond to give alkenylsilane products, indicating the intermediate formation of a Pt, Si-u-alkenylidene complex. ROH reagents react with a proposed bis(alkylidene)silacyclopropane intermediate to initiate ring opening and to form η3-butadienyl complexes (where R = H, Me, Et, or Ph). The structure of one of these complex ions (R = H) has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. © 1990, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
