Abstract;A new synthetic route to 2,5-difunctionalized 3,4-dialkylsiloles has been developed. Halogenolysis of titanacyclopentadienes, prepared from alkynes and (.ETA.2-propene)Ti(Oi-Pr)2, affords 1,4-dihalobutadienes, which are further transformed into silole derivatives. Selective halodesilylation reactions of 2,5-disilylsiloles thus prepared give a series of 3,4-dialkyl-2,5-dihalosiloles. Some 2,5-dihalosiloles are further derivatized to unsymmetrical 2,5-difunctionalized siloles having boron or tin functionalities. A silole dimer, 2,2'-bisilole, has also been prepared by the oxidative coupling using copper complex starting from 2,5-diiodosiloles and the crystal structure and UV-vis absorption spectra have been determined.
