title: A début for base stabilized monoalkylsilylenes.
abstract: The first base stabilized monoalkylsilylenes LSitBu (2) and LSi[C(SiMe(3))(3)] (3) (L = PhC(NtBu)(2)) were synthesized by the facile metathesis reactions of LitBu and KC(SiMe(3))(3) with LSiCl (1). The reaction of LSitBu (2) with N(2)O afforded the dimer [LSitBu(μ-O)](2) (4) which contains a four-membered Si(2)O(2) ring.
