. . . "Treatment of the phenyl-substituted silane 4 with lithium metal afforded the functionalized lithiosilane rac-2 by selective cleavage of one Si\u2212C bond between silicon and a phenyl group. The resulting lithiosilane rac-2 crystallizes as the dimer (2\u00B7THF)2, which represents the first example of a dimeric organyl-substituted lithiosilane in the presence of THF." . . . . . . .
