1,2-Bis-(trialkylsilyl)ethanes: Synthons for vicinal Dications? -Anodic oxidation of the bissilyldiphenylmethane (III) in methanol gives a diastereomeric mixture of 1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethanes (V) and (VI) and the dimethylacetal (VII) of diphenylacetaldehyde. These results can be interpreted in terms of an intermediate 1,2-diphenyl-2-methoxyethyl cation. -(PORTER,
