ChemInform Abstract: Organo‐Element Derivatives of Furan. Part 62. Reactivity and Molecular Structure of 2‐Furylhydrosilanes.

Abstract

The hydrolysis of tris(2‐furyl)silane (I) in aqueous dimethylformamide solution gives the disiloxane (II).

Furan derivatives of group IV elements (review)

“…The length of the Si-C bond is 1.871 ,~,, the SiCC bond angle is 127.8 °, and the SiCO angle is 121.2 °. In the transition from 2-furylsilane to di(2-furyl)-and tri(2-furyl)silane, some shortening of the Si-C bond to 1.869 and 1.857 t~ respectively is observed• The molecule of tri(2-furyl)silane has the form of a propeller, in which each ring forms an angle of 38.6" with the HSiC plane [465].…”

“…The molecular structure of some furan derivatives of group IVB elements was investigated by electron diffraction [465] and x-ray crystallographic analysis [261,275,[466][467][468][469][470][471][472]. The structural parameters of the 2-furylsilane molecule in the gas phase were obtained during calculation of the electron-diffraction data on the assumption that the furan ring is planar and has C2v symmetry, while the Slit 3 group has C3v symmetry, and that one of the SitI 3 groups lies in the plane of the furan ring.…”
