The reduction of Tip 2 SiCl 2 by finely dispersed lithium powder directly affords the disilenide 1 (see picture), the structure of which could be characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The reaction of 1 with Me 3 SiCl leads to the corresponding asymmetrical disilene. The ready availability of 1 is expected to open new possibilities for the synthesis of disilenes in general.
