Abstract Triethylborane, BEt3, can act as a 1,2-hydroborating reagent towards alkyn-1-ylsilanes, depending on the nature of the silane. A mechanism is proposed invoking hydrogen transfer from the β -carbon of one ethyl group, quite different from the 1,2-hydroboration mechanism using tri-n-propylborane, BnPr3. The structure of the products has been confirmed by comparison with that obtained using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 9-BBN, as a well established 1,2-hydroborating reagent. All products have been characterized by a consistent set of NMR data (1H, 11B, 13C and 29Si NMR). The molecular structure of (Z)-1-dichlorosilyl-1-[9-(9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl)]-2-phenylethene has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract Trimethylsilylethine (1) has been prepared from C2H2, sodium and Me3SiCl in anisole. The product can be converted into a Grignard reagent Me3SiC≡CMgCl using iPrMgCl. This reagent yields the compounds Me3SiC≡CSiH3, (Me3SiC≡C)2SiH2, (Me3SiC≡C)3SiH, and (Me3SiC≡C)4Si (2-5) when treated with equivalent amounts of H3SiBr, H2SiBr2, HSiCl3, or SiCl4. respectively. The new silanes have been characterized by NMR data. The crystal structure of (Me3SiC≡C)4Si has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It shows the expected tetrahedral geometry at he central silicon atom with four linear SiC≡CSi linkages.
