Nouveaux modèles siliciés dérivés de la quinoléine

Silylation of quinoline with Me3SiCl/Li/THF reagent has been studied. We obtained new tri-, tetra-, and hexasilylated derivatives whose stereochemistry has been established using NMR data. Comparison of these results to those previously obtained from naphthalene shows the effect of nitrogen on the silylation process. Keywords: silylation, quinoline, polysilyl-hydro-quinolines.
