Reaction Steps

Tris(trichlorosilyl)silane prepared in Example 9 is dissolved in toluene with a molar equivalent of vinylferrocene and tris(triphenylphoshine)rhodium chloride (Wilkinson's catalyst) and heated for >4 hours to form tris(trichlorosilyl)silylvinylferrocene by dehydrogenative coupling. This intermediate can be reduced to form 2-(2-ferrocenylethenyl)isotetrasilane (formula (15)), as described in Example 3.
