Synthetically useful 1,1-dibromo-2-arylethenes were readily prepared in good yields via double bromodesilylation of the easily accessible 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-arylethenes using N-bromosuccinimide under mild conditions.

Key words

1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes - bromodesilylation - halogenation - organometallic reagents - silicon derivatives

A Typical Procedure for the Synthesis of 1,1-Dibromo-2-arylethenes and Spectroscopic Data of Selected Products: N-Bromosuccinimide (3.55 g, 20 mmol) was added to the solution of the corresponding 1,1-bis(silyl)-2-arylethene (2 mmol) in anhyd MeCN (20 mL) and the suspension was stirred at r.t. for the appropriate time (see Table [1] ). The solvent was then evaporated and the mixture was extracted with n-hexane (50 mL). After extraction with an aqueous solution of Na₂S₂O₃ (5%, 50 mL) the organic layer was concentrated and the crude product was preloaded on to silica. 1,1-Dibromo-2-arylethenes were purified by silica chromatography, eluting with n-hexane-EtOAc (25:1).
