Abstract

The reaction of 1-boryl-1-alkenyl chlorosilane derivatives with alkynyllithium reagents [Li-C\equiv C-R^3 (R^3~=~Ph, SiMe_3)] at low temperature (--78 °C) affords alkenyl(alkyn-1-yl)silanes. These compounds are precursors of 1-silacyclobutene derivatives, which are formed via intramolecular 1,1-vinylboration. This reaction works for various groups at silicon (R^1/R^2: R^1 = H, Me, Ph; R^2 = Me, Ph) and at the C=C and C\equiv C units (R/R^3: R = ^nBu, Ph; R^3 = ^nBu, Ph, SiMe_3). The conversion into 1-silacyclobutene derivatives is incomplete only in the case of R^3 = SiMe_3. The reactions were monitored by NMR spectroscopy in order to elucidate the reaction mechanism, and the proposed structures of all new compounds follow from consistent sets of NMR parameters (^1H-, ^{13}C-, ^{11}B-, ^{29}Si-NMR).
