1,1-Dichloro-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopenta- 2,4-diene was synthesized through the reaction of $SiCl_4$ with 1,4-dilithiotetraphenylbutadiene in 50% yield. From the reaction of this silole with metal, an air sensitive red-brownish solid was obtained. Treatment of this reaction product with $CH_3I; and; Me_3SiCl$ gave 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopenta- 2,4-diene and 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopenta-2,4-diene, respectively. From these results, the formation of reactive 2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopenta-2,4-dienyl dianion was confirmed.
