Dodecamethylcyclohexasilane is the organosilicon compound with the formula Si6(CH3)12. It is one of the more readily prepared and easily handled polysilanes. Dodecamethylcyclohexasilane is produced by reduction of dimethyldichlorosilane with sodium-potassium alloy:[1]
- 6 (CH3)2SiCl2 + 12 M → (CH3)12Si6 + 12 MCl
where M is Na or K. The reaction also produces polydimethylsilane and decamethylpentasilane.[clarification needed]
The chair conformer was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.[2]
Reactions
Dodecamethylcyclohexasilane reacts with potassium tert-butoxide to give the potassium derivative:[3]
- (CH3)12Si6 + KOC(CH3)3 → K(CH3)11Si6 + CH3OC(CH3)3
