Abstract
The reaction of lithiated 2-hydroxybiphenyl and 2′-hydroxy-m-terphenyl resp. with SiCl4 and SiBr4 resp. yields the aryloxyhalogenosilanes 1-6 and the 1-oxa-10-silaphenanthrenederivative 7. PCl3 and POCl3 resp. react to yield the phosphanes 8-11 and the P(V)-derivative 12. With AsCl3 the 1-oxa-10-arsaphenanthrene 13 was obtained. With the germaniumdichloride-dioxane complex and GeCl4 resp. the spirocyclic germabiphenanthrene compounds 14 and 15 and the 1-oxa-10-germaphenanthrene 16 were formed. The compounds were characterized analytically and spectroscopically (n.m.r.: 1H, 29Si, 13C, 31P, and by mass spectroscopy).
