The reactions of the silenes produced thermally from (Me3Si)(3)SiCOR (1a-1d; R = t-Bu, Ad, Ph, and Mes) with benzil in a sealed glass tube at 140 degreesC gave the respective five-membered cyclic compounds, 2,5-dioxa-1-silacyclopent-3-enes (2a-2d) in high yields. The silenes from 1a-d also reacted with 4,4'-dimethylbenzil to give the 2,5-dioxa-1-silacyclopent-3-ene derivatives. The photolysis of 1a and 1b in the presence of benzil in a benzene solution gave the respective products, 3,6-dioxa-1-silacyclohex-4-enes (3a and 3b) arising from [2+4] cycloaddition in high yields. The thermolysis of 3a and 3b in a sealed tube at 140 degreesC afforded 2a and 2b, respectively, in quantitative yields. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
