title = "Alkylation methodology for the synthesis of 1,4-disilacyclohexanes using α,α'-dilithiated silanes",
abstract = "The double alkylation of bis[2-(2-lithio-1,3-dithian)-yl]diorganosilane with bis(bromomethyl)diorganosilanes proceeds smoothly in good yields in a mixture of THF-hexamethylphosphoric trianide (HMPA) or THF-1,1,3,3- tetramethylurea (TMU) to give 1,4-disilacyclohexanes whose conformation was shown to be a twist-boat on the basis of X-ray analysis.",
