The cothermolysis of benzoyl(tert-butyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)silane with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene in a sealed tube at 140 °C for 24 h afforded cis- and trans-1-tert-butyl-4,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2-(trimethylsiloxy)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-silacyclohex-4-ene (2 and 3) in a ratio of approximately 1:1 in 66% combined yield. When cis-silacyclohex-4-ene 2 was heated in a sealed tube at 250 °C for 24 h, dyotropic ring contraction took place to give 1-[(tert-butyl)(trimethylsiloxy)(trimethylsilyl)silyl]-3,4-dimethyl-1-phenylcyclopent-3-ene (4), but not trans-2-tert-butyl-4,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-silacyclohex-4-ene (6). The thermolysis of trans-silacyclohex-4-ene 3 under the same conditions, however, afforded two products, 1-silyl-1-phenylcyclopent-3-ene 4 and trans-1-tert-butyl-4,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-silacyclohex-4-ene (5). The theoretical calculations were carried out to characterize the transition states and other local minima, and to evaluate the activation energies for the dyotropic rearrangement of 2 to 4 and 6, and 3 to 4 and 5. The energy barriers between 2 and 4, between 3 and 4, and between 3 and 5 were evaluated to be 188, 191, 192 kJ mol−1, respectively. The energy barrier between 2 and 6, however, was calculated to be 201 kJ mol−1 or higher. These results are consistent with the experimental finding that the thermal isomerization of 2 affords only 4, but 3 produces both 4 and 5.
