title: Reaction of Hypercoordinate Dichlorosilanes Bearing 8-(Dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl Group(s) with Magnesium: Formation of the 1,2-Disilaacenaphthene Skeleton.
abstract: Migration of NMe(2) from C(naphthyl) to Si and Si-Si and Si-C bond formation to give a 1,2-disilaacenaphthene skeleton occurred in the reaction of hypercoordinate dichlorosilanes bearing the 8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl group with two equivalents of magnesium [e.g., Eq. (a)]. The intermediate was isolated as the 1-isopropoxy derivative after quenching the reaction mixture with isopropyl alcohol.
