Abstract;Benzo[1,2:4,5]bis(1,1,2,2-tetraethyl-1,2-disilacyclobut-3-ene)(1) was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene with magnesium in the presence of diethylfluorosilane in THF. The reaction of 1 with diphenylacetylene in the presence of a catalytic amount of (.ETA.2-ethylene)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(O) in refluxing benzene gave a 1:2-adduct, benzo[1,2:4,5]bis(1,1,4,4-tetraethyl-2,3-diphenyl-1,4-disilacyclohexa-2,5-diene) in 91% yield. Similar platinum(O)-catalyzed reaction of 1 with 3-hexyne and acetylene in benzene afforded the respective 1:2-adducts, benzo[1,2:4,5]bis(disilacyclohexadine) derivatives in excellent yields.
