INTRODUCTION The advent of accelerated silylmetallic research began with the development of tetrahydrofuran as a solvent for the lithium cleavage of hexaphenyldisilane."1" Tetrahydrofuran had been previously recognized for its catalytic effect in the P cleavage of silicon-silicon bonds and for its favorable in- •Z A flueace exerted on various organometallic reactions. ' Thus a silylmetallic in tetrahydrofuran is a powerful tool in the synthesis of new organosllicon compounds. Monomerle organo sllicon compounds usually possess admirable thermal stabil ities and therefore offer promise for use as high temperature lubricants or in related applications. Despite the ample publications on certain aspects of 5 6 7 organosllicon chemistry, ' * the first comprehensive review ^H. Gilman and G. D. Llchtenwalter, J. Am. Chem. Soc.. gO, 608 (1958).

Initially, thiaxanthene was selected for study because, in spite of the considerable work done, the chemical knowledge of this system is fragmentary. Later, another heterocycle, namely, phenothiazine, was in vestigated and the preparation of some of its silicon deriva tives was undertaken. The purpose of this Investigation has been: (1) to col lect, systematize and extend the knowledge of the syntheses and orientation in thiaxanthene and related compounds ; (2) to compare the effect of the solvent and the halogen on the re activity of triphenylsllyllithlum with mono-halogenated heterocycles; (3) to prepare several halogenated derivatives of 10-ethylphenothiazine and study their reaction with tri- phenylsilyllithium in the hope that some of these coupled compounds might manifest favorable thermal stabilities; (4) to ascertain the possible utilization of silicon hydrides as selective reagents for hydrogénations and hydrogenolyses. The historical section has been developed so as to ®D. Wittenberg and H. Gilman, Quart.

Introduction Although thiaxanthene has been known for nearly seventy- five years there has been relatively little work reported dur ing that period. Only one review on thiaxanthene and related compounds has appeared in the literature.9 Several names have been applied to the parent hetero cyclic compound. Thiaxanthene is given as the preferred name by Patterson and Cape11^ and will be employed in this dis cussion. Other names often encountered In the literature
