Abstract
The synthesis of the precursor phenylthiomethyl-functionalized carbosilane dendrimers Si[(CH2)3SiMe2CH2SPh]4 (1) and Si{(CH2)3Si[(CH2)3SiMe2 CH2SPh]3}4 (2) is described. Reacting 1 and 2 with lithium naphthalenide gives the first lithiomethyl-functionalized dendrimers Si[(CH2)3SiMe2CH2Li]4 (7) and Si{(CH2)3Si[(CH2)3 SiMe2CH2Li]3}4 (11). Deutero, trimethylsilyl, trimethylstannyl, and tri-n-butylstannyl derivatives of these dendrimers, as well as a method to enable isolation of the lithiated dendrimers as solids, are described.
