(Chemical Equation Presented) Jekyll and Hyde: Stable silylene 1 reacts readily with acetylene at room temperature to give 1,1-adduct 2, whereas at -78°C only silacycloprop-3-ene 3 is formed. Once 3 is present in the reaction mixture, it autocatalyzes its own generation even at room temperature. Both the facile silylene C-H bond insertion for terminal alkynes and the autocatalytic formation of silacycloprop-3-enes are unprecedented. R = 2,6-iPr2C6H3.
