ture was extracted with Et 2O (3 ” 30 mL). The combined Et 2O extracts were washed with<br />
sat. aq NH 4Cl and brine, dried (MgSO 4), and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash<br />
chromatography (silica gel, hexanes) followed by Kugelrohr distillation (1108C, 0.7 Torr)<br />
to give the stable Æ-iodoalkylsilane 24; yield 1.36 g (96%).<br />

Haloalkylation of Halosilanes<br />
The haloalkylation of chlorosilanes by the reaction of a (Æ-haloalkyl)metal species is a useful<br />
and reasonably general method for the preparation of Æ-haloalkylsilanes (disconnection<br />
d, Scheme 1). Generally, the (chloroalkyl)lithium reagents are prepared in situ by the<br />
deprotonation of the corresponding alkyl halide. [45] For example, (chloromethyl)lithium<br />
is conveniently prepared in situ by the treatment of bromochloromethane with butyllithium<br />
at temperatures between –70 and –60 8C, in the presence of the chlorosilane<br />
(25 fi 26). [45] Under these conditions butyllithium does not react with the chlorosilane.<br />
The method is applicable to the synthesis of a wide variety of silanes including disilanes<br />
and allylsilanes. Bromomethyl and iodomethyl derivatives can be prepared with increasing<br />
difficulty by the use of dibromomethane and diiodomethane. 3-Haloprop-1-enes react<br />
in the same way with chlorotrimethylsilane and lithium dicyclohexylamide efficiently<br />
producing Æ-haloallylsilanes (allyl bromide fi 27, Scheme 8). [46] (Halomethyl)aryl compounds<br />
react in the same way when lithium diisopropylamide is used as the base. [47–49]<br />
Several heterocyclic derivatives have been prepared by this method. [Chloro(pyridin-3yl)methyl]lithium<br />
[prepared from lithium diisopropylamide and 3-(chloromethyl)pyridine]<br />
reacts well with chlorotrimethylsilane. [50] Similar processes can be used to silylate<br />
the lithio derivatives of 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine, [51] 4-(fluoromethyl)pyridine, [51] and 2-<br />
(chloromethyl)benzothiazole. [52] (Dihalomethyl)trialkylsilanes are prepared efficiently<br />
from dihalomethanes, lithium diisopropylamide, and chlorosilanes. [53] Deprotonation of<br />
trihalomethanes with butyllithium at low temperature, followed by reaction with chlorosilanes,<br />
generates trihalomethylsilanes. [54] Similar processes can be effected by formation<br />
of the Grignard reagent derived from polybromo- or polyiodomethane. [55] 1-Bromo-1-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropanes<br />
[56] can be prepared by the treatment of 1,1-dibromocyclopropanes,<br />
magnesium, and chlorotrimethylsilane under ultrasonic irradiation. [57]<br />
