Chemistry of organosilicon compounds: CCXXXVI. Structure of conformationally stable 1-(p-bromophenyl)-4-t-butyl-1-methyl-1-silacyclohexane and stereochemistry of halodesilylation

Abstract The molecular structure of conformationally stable 1-( p -bromophenyl)-4-t-butyl-1-methyl-1-silacyclohexane was determined by an X-ray diffraction study. Stereochemical as well as kinetic studies on halodesilylation of both cis - and trans -4-t-butyl-1-nethyl-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexanes are described.
