15. The previously investigated optically active halosilanes reacted with organolithium compounds with inversion; especially for the benzyl anion as nucleophile inversion at the silicon center was always observed independent of the leaving group (see ref [4b] und [4c]).
16. 10)X with X = Li, Cl, Br present in the reaction solutions were observed in only small amounts (< 1%) at reaction temperatures between -78 and 0°C. The fraction of these coupling products rises significantly, however, if care is not taken during the reaction procedure to ensure that the reaction solution is immediately and thoroughly mixed (particularly pronounced in the reaction with benzyl chloride at 0°C).
