Abstract

Ring closure of 1,5-dibromo-1,5-disilapentane with methylene di-Grignard was the key step in the preparation of the parent 1,3-disilacyclohexane. For that purpose, the preparation of methylene di-Grignard has been improved and simplified. The successful synthesis of the isomeric 1,2- and 1,4-disilacyclohexanes is also reported.
