1-Phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes

详细

The approaches to synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes C₅H₁₀Si(Ph)X (X = F, Cl, Br) have been examined. 1-Phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane has been prepared via the known reaction of phenyltrichlorosilane with dimagnesium derivative of 1,5-dibromopentane; up to 20% of 1-bromo-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane admixture is formed along with the target product. The minor product formation has been prevented using an alternative method of chlorination of 1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane with N-chlorosuccinimide. 1-Phenyl-1-fluoro-1-silacyclohexane has been obtained in close to quantitative yield via the reaction of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with SbF₃ and in 70% yield via its reaction with HF. The synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-bromo-1-silacyclohexane via bromination of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with N-bromosuccinimide has given the target product as a minor one, the major product being disiloxane formed due to hydrolysis of the Si–Br bond.
