Platinum-Catalyzed Reactions of 2,3-Bis(diisopropylsilyl)thiophene with Alkynes

The reactions of 2,3-bis(diisopropylsilyl)thiophene (1) with diphenylacetylene, phenylacetylene, trimethylsilylacetylene, and mesitylacetylene have been reported. The reactions of 1 with diphenylacetylene and phenylacetylene in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) at 80 °C gave [1,4]disilino[2,3-b]thiophene derivatives. With trimethylsilylacetylene, 1 afforded two types of products arising from sp-hybridized C–H bond activation of the acetylene, together with [1,3]disilolo[4,5-b]thiophene derivatives. A similar treatment of 1 with mesitylacetylene produced two regioisomers of products arising from the C–H bond activation of mesitylacetylene. Theoretical calculations for the intramolecular reactions of 10a and 10b are also discussed.
