trans-1,3-Dihydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane

Hydrolysis of 1,3-dimethyl-1,3-dichloro-1,3-disilacyclohexane has made it possible to isolate for the first time 1,3-dimethyl- 1,3-dihydroxy-1,3-disilacyclobutane, with subsequent establishment of its crystalline structure by X-ray diffraction.
