Abstract
The reaction of N‐(2‐hydroxymethylphenyl)salicylideneimine with sodium hydride in dry toluene at −4°C produces 1,9‐remote dianion. The cyclization of this dianion with diorganodichlorosilanes affords dibenzodioxazasiladecines in good yields. The products were characterized by satisfactory elemental analyses and spectral (IR, 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR and mass) studies.
