Dichlorodimethylsilane → chloro(dimethyl)(2-methyl-8H-indeno[2,1-b]thiophen-8-yl)silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Suspension of 1.86 g (0.01 mol) 2-methyl-8H-indeno[2,1-b]thiophene in 25 mL ether was treated dropwise with 6.25 mL (0.01 mol) of 1.6M BuLi in hexane at −40° C. under stirring. Then the mixture was stirred in additional 3 h. The resulting mixture was treated with 1.20 mL (0.01 mol) of dimethyldichlorosilane in 5 mL of ether at −70° C.; then it was allowed to warm to r.t. and stirred overnight. The solution was isolated and evaporated to give 2.47 g (89%) of the crude product that was used without further purification.
