Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane ( 2 ) is an efficient hydrosilylating agent of 1,6‐dienes 1 operating via a free‐radical chain mechanism. The intermediate alkyl radical 3 attacks the second olefinic bond of the diene 1 and forms cyclopentylalkyl radical 4 . Using a low concentration of the hydrogen donor 2 , a radical substitution reaction at the Si‐center of cis ‐ 4 occurs and yields the bicyclic silane 6 . The rate of this homolytic substitution at the Si‐atom is 2.4 · 10 5 s ‐1 (80°).
