Bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-3-yl-dimethyl((E)-styryl)-silane

Abstract

Bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-3-yl-dimethyl-((E)-styryl)-silane was synthesized via three stage synthesis starting from benzocyclobutene and (2-bromo-vinyl)-benzene. The structure of the product was determined using 1H- and 13C-NMR and HRMS.

Di(bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-3-yl)dimethylsilane

“…In this paper, we present a simple preparation procedure and the physical properties of a thermopolymerizable monomer containing two benzocyclobutene and dimethylsilane fragments (di(bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-3-yl)dimethylsilane). The synthesis involves a two-stage process starting from 4-bromobenzocyclobutene obtained by a previously described method [8,9]. In the first stage, 4-bromobenzocyclobutene (1) reacts with magnesium in the presence of iodine in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran to form a Grignard reagent (2) ( Figure 1).…”
