This brief review deals with the thermal or photochemical synthesis and reactions of silacyclopropene or 1-sila-1,2-propadiene. The novel intramolecular reactions of silacyclopropene or 1-sila-1,2-propadiene are also discussed.

Irradiation of 1-(o-allyloxyphenyl)-2-pentamethyldisilanylethyne (2) in methanol yields two 1 : 1 photoaddition products (3 and 4) via silacyclopropene intermediate. Photolysis of (2) with acetone in deaerated methylene chloride yields site specific and regioselective 1: 1 adducts (7 and 8) via silacyclopropene and 1-sila-1,2-propadiene intermediate, respectively.
