Chlorodiethylborane → [1-(Diethylboranyl)cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-yl](trimethyl)silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5.44 g (18.1 mmol) of colorless neat trimethyl(trimethylsilylcyclopentadienyl)tin is added 1.89 g (2.28 ml, 18.1 mmol) of colorless chlorodiethylborane at once at room temperature. An intense yellow color immediately appears. The mixture is stirred for 2 h and then subjected to fractional distillation. At a bath temperature of 60° C., the major part of the chlorotrimethylstannane can be separated off as the first fraction.
