Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution of 15 ml (0.153 mol) of 1,4-dichloro-1-butyne [IV]and 13.6 ml (0.16 mol) of trichlorosilane (bp: 31°-32° C.) [V], were added 0.15 ml (10 mmol) of H2PtCl6 . 6H2O in an isopropyl alcohol solution (0.05 g/ml), which were heated for 8 hours. Then, it was directly distillated to obtain 37 g of 1,4-dichloro-2-(trichloro)silyl-2-butene [VI](yield: 94 %, bp: 70° C./1 mmHg).
