Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, C₃₉H₆₂N₂O₅Si₂, obtained as an unexpected side product, was determined in the course of our studies on the synthesis of N-triisopropyl-1H-indol-3-yl derivatives. Interestingly, although the triisopropylsilyl group was intended as a temporary protecting group, the compound comprises a remarkably stable N-Si bond. The vinyl C=C double bond possesses a Z configuration.
