Zum Reaktionsverhalten lithiierter Aminosilane RR′ Si(H)N(Li)SiMe3

The Reaction Behaviour of Lithiated Aminosilanes RR′Si(H)N(Li)SiMe₃ The bis(trimethylsilyl)aminosubstituted silances RR′Si(H)N(SiMe₃)₂ 11 – 16 (R,R′ = Me, Me₃SiNH, (Me₃Si)₂N) are obtained by the reaction of the lithium silylamides RR′Si(H)N(Li)SiMe₃ 1 – 10 (R,R′ = Me₃SiNLi, Me, Me₃SiNH, (M₃Si)₂N) with chlorotrimethylsilane in the polar solvent tetrahydrofurane (THF). In the reaction of the lithium silylamides [(Me₃Si)₂N]₂(Me₃SiNLi)SiH 10 with chlorotrimethylsilane in THF the rearranged product 1,1,3-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]-3-methyl-1,3-disila-butane [(Me₃Si)₂N]₂Si(H)CH₂SiMe₂N(SiMe₃)₂ 17 is formed. The reaction of the lithium silyamides RR′ Si(H)N(Li)SiMe₃ 1 – 3 (1: R = R′ = Me; 2: R = Me, R′ = Me₃SiNH; 3: R = Me, R′ = Me₃SiNLi) with chlorotrimethylsilane in the nonpolar solvent n-hexane gives the cyclodisilazanes [RR′ Si? NSiMe₃]₂ 18 – 22 (R = Me, Me₃SiNH, (Me₃Si)₂N; R′ = Me, Me₃SiNH, (Me₃Si)₂N, N(SiMe₃)Si · Me(NHSiMe₃)₂) and trimethylsilane. The lithium silylamides 4 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 10 (4: R = R′ = Me₃SiNH; 5: R = Me₃SiNH, R′ = Me₃SiNLi; 6: R = R′ = Me₃SiNLi; 9: R = (Me₃Si)₂N, R ′ = Me₃SiNLi; 10: R = R′ = (Me₃Si)₂N) shows with chlorotrimethylsilane in n-hexane no reaction. The crystal structure of 17 and 21 are reported.     

Lithiumsalze des Tris(trimethylsilylamino)silans - Zur Struktur in Lösung und im Festkörper

Lithium Salts of Tris(trimethylsilylamino)silane - Their Structures in Solution and in the Solid State^* Amides, which result from the reaction of tris(trimethylsilylamino)silane (Me₃SiNH)₃SiH ( 1 ) with n-butyllithium in the molar ratio 1:1 and 1:2 in nonpolar solvents, form a system in which the aminosilane 1 , the monoamide (Me₃SiNLi)(Me₃SiNH)₂SiH ( 2a ), the diamide (Me₃SiNLi)₂(Me₃SiNH)SiH ( 3 ), and the triamide (Me₃SiNLi)₃SiH ( 4 ) are in equilibrium. When the monoamide 2a is dissolved in THF only the dimeric monolithiated THF adduct 2b is obtained. An X-ray structure analysis of the lithium silylamide 2b reveals that in the dimeric unit one of the lithium atoms is coordinated by THF, the two lithium atoms thus differing in coordination number (3 versus 4). An X-ray study of the triamide 4 reveals a centrosymmetric polycycle. Multipole interactions are formed between the lithium and the nitrogen atoms. The reaction of the diamide 3 with chlorotrimethylsilane in boiling THF yields the cis isomer of the cyclic diamide [(Me₃SiNLi)(Me₃SiNH)SiN(SiMe₃)]₂· 2 THF ( 5 ) as a byproduct. According to an X-ray structure analysis of 5 the lithium centers are coordinated by one oxygen and three nitrogen atoms, which form a strongly distorted tetrahedron. The interactions between lithium and nitrogen atoms N(1) and N(2), which are part of the four-membered Si₂N₂ cycle, have to be considered as weak on the basis of the remarkably long Li-N distances (233 and 243 pm).     

N-Silylierung und Si?O-Bindungsspaltung bei der Reaktion lithiierter Siloxy-silylamino-silane mit Chlortrimethylsilan

N-Silylation and Si? O Bond Splitting at the Reaction of Lithiated Siloxy-silylamino-silanes with Chlorotrimethylsilane Lithiated Siloxy-silylamino-silanes were allowed to react in tetrahydrofurane (THF) and in n-octane (favoured) and n-hexane, resp., with chlorotrimethylsilane. The monoamide (Me₃SiO)Me₂Si(NLiSiMe₃) gives in THF and in n-octane the N-substitution product (Me₃SiO)Me₂Si · [N(SiMe₃)₂] 1 , the diamide (Me₃SiO)MeSi(NLiSiMe₃)₂ only in THF the N-substitution products (Me₃SiO)MeSi[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 2 (main product) and (Me₃SiO)MeSi[N(SiMe₃)₂](NHSiMe₃) 3 . In n-octane the diamide reacts mainly under Si? O bond splitting. The cyclodisilazane [(Me₃SiNH)MeSi? NSiMe₃]₂ 6 is obtained as the main product. Byproducts are 2, 3 and the tris(trimethylsilylamino) substituted disilazane (Me₃SiO)(Me₃SiNH)MeSi? N · (SiMe₃)? SiMe(NHSiMe₃)₂ 7 . The triamide (Me₃SiO)Si · (NLiSiMe₃)₃ reacts under Si? O and Si? N bond splitting in n-octane as well as in THF. The cyclodisilazanes [(Me₃SiNH)₂ · Si? NSiMe₃]₂ 10 and ( 11 : R = Me₃SiNH, 12 : R = (Me₃Si)₂N) are formed. in THF furthermore the N-substitution products (Me₃SiO)Si[N(SiMe₃)₂] · (NHSiMe₃)₂ 4 and (Me₃SiO)Si[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂(NHSiMe₃) 5 . The Si? O bond splitting occurs in boiling n-octane also in absence of the chlorotrimethylsilane. An amide solution of (Me₃SiO)MeSi(NHSiMe₃)₂ with n-butyllithium in the molar ratio 1 : 1 leads in n-octane and n-hexane to 6 and 7 , in THF to 3 . The amide solutions of (Me₃SiO)Si · (NHSiMe₃)₃ with n-butyllithium the molar ratio 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 give in THF 4 and 5 , respectively.     

Darstellung,Charakterisierung und Reaktionsverhalten von Natrium‐ und Kaliumhydridosilylamiden R2(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Na,K) — Kristallstruktur von [(Me3C)2(H)Si—N(K)SiMe3]2·THF

Preparation, Characterization and Reaction Behaviour of Sodium and Potassium Hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Na, K) — Crystal Structure of [(Me₃C)₂(H)Si—N(K)SiMe₃]₂ · THF The alkali metal hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ 1a‐Na — 1d—Na and 1a‐K — 1d‐K ( a : R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; b : R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃; c : R = Me, R′ = Si(H)Me₂; d : R = CMe₃, R′= SiMe₃) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding hydridosilylamines 1a — 1d with alkali metal M (M = Na, K) in presence of styrene or with alkali metal hydrides MH (M = Na, K). With NaNH₂ in toluene Me₂(H)Si—NHCMe₃ ( 1a ) reacted not under metalation but under nucleophilic substitution of the H(Si) atom to give Me₂(NaNH)Si—NHCMe₃ ( 5 ). In the reaction of Me₂(H)Si—NHSiMe₃ ( 1b ) with NaNH₂ intoluene a mixture of Me₂(NaNH)Si—NHSiMe₃ and Me₂(H)Si—N(Na)SiMe₃ ( 1b‐Na ) was obtained. The hydridosilylamides have been characterized spectroscopically. The spectroscopic data of these amides and of the corresponding lithium derivatives are discussed. The ²⁹Si‐NMR‐chemical shifts and the ²⁹Si—¹H coupling constants of homologous alkali metal hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Li, Na, K) are depending on the alkali metal. With increasing of the ionic character of the M—N bond M = K > Na > Li the ²⁹Si‐NMR‐signals are shifted upfield and the ²⁹Si—¹H coupling constants except for compounds (Me₃C)(H)Si—N(M)SiMe₃ are decreased. The reaction behaviour of the amides 1a‐Na — 1c‐Na and 1a‐K — 1c‐K was investigated toward chlorotrimethylsilane in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and in n‐pentane. In THF the amides produced just like the analogous lithium amides the corresponding N‐silylation products Me₂(H)Si—N(SiMe₃)R′ ( 2a — 2c ) in high yields. The reaction of the sodium amides with chlorotrimethylsilane in nonpolar solvent n‐pentane produced from 1a‐Na the cyclodisilazane [Me₂Si—NCMe₃]₂ ( 8a ), from 1b‐Na and 1‐Na mixtures of cyclodisilazane [Me₂Si—NR′]₂ ( 8b , 8c ) and N‐silylation product 2b , 2c . In contrast to 1b‐Na and 1c‐Na and to the analogous lithium amides the reaction of 1b‐K and 1c‐K with chlorotrimethylsilane afforded the N‐silylation products Me₂(H)Si—N(SiMe₃)R′ ( 2b , 2c ) in high yields. The amide [(Me₃C)₂(H)Si—N(K)SiMe₃]₂·THF ( 9 ) crystallizes in the space group C2/c with Z = 4. The central part of the molecule is a planar four‐membered K₂N₂ ring. One potassium atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and the other one by two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Furthermore K···H(Si) and K···CH₃ contacts exist in 9 . The K—N distances in the K₂N₂ ring differ marginally.     

2,4‐Disila‐1,3,5‐oxadiazin,Cyclodisilazan‐Carbonsäure‐silylamid und ‐silylester

The lithium salts of the Me₃Si‐ as well as Me₃Si‐ and Me₂SiF‐substituted Cyclotrisilazanes I and II react with tert‐butylacylchloride under ring contraction and formation of the cyclodisilazane‐silylester, Me₃SiN(SiMe₂–N)₂SiMe₂–O–CO–CMe₃ ( 1 ). The lithium salt of the fluorodi‐methylsilyl‐substituted cyclotrisilazan III forms with benzoylchloride primarily in the analogous reaction the carboxy‐silyl‐amide, Me₂SiF(N–SiMe₂)₂SiMe₂–NH–CO–C₆H₅⁺ ( 2 ), which can be converted with III and benzoylchloride into the cyclodisilazane‐silylester, Me₂SiF(NSiMe₂)₂SiMe₂–O–CO–C₆H₅, ( 3 ). A silylester substituted six‐membered disila‐oxadiazine ( 4 ) is the result of the reaction of the lithiated cyclotrisilazane, (Me₂SiNH)₂, (Me₂SiNLi) with tert‐butyl‐acylchloride. The reaction includes anionic ring contraction and can be rationilized by a process analogous to keto‐enol‐tautomerism. Dilithiated octamethyl‐cyclotetrasilazane, (Me₂SiNHMe₂SiNLi)₂, reacts with tert‐butyl‐acylchloride or benzoylchloride in a molar ratio 1:2 to yield symmetrically acylestersubstituted cyclodisilazanes, (RCO–O–SiMe₂–NSiMe₂)₂, R = C₆H₅ ( 5 ), CMe₃ ( 6 ). The reaction mechanisms are discussed and the crystal structures of 2 and 6 are reported.     

Lithiierte Siloxy-silylamino-silane – Darstellung und Reaktionen mit Chlordimethylsilan

Lithiated Siloxy-silylamino-silanes — Preparation and Reactions with Chlorodimethylsilane The siloxy-silylamino-silanes (Me₃SiO)Me_3–nSi(NHSiMe₃)_n ( 1 : n = 1, 2 : n = 2, 3 : n = 3) are obtained by coammonolysis of the chlorosiloxysilanes (Me₃SiO)Me_3–nSiCl_n (n = 1–3) with chlorotrimethylsilane. The reaction of 1, 2 , and 3 with n-butyllithium in appropriate molar ratio in n-hexane gives the siloxy-silylamido-silanes (Me₃SiO)Me_3–nSi(NLiSiMe₃)_n ( 4 : n = 1, 5 : n = 2, 6 : n = 3), which were spectroscopically characterized (IR, ¹H-, ⁷Li-, ²⁹Si-NMR) and allowed to react in solution (n-hexane, THF) with Me₂Si(H)Cl. 4 reacts to the N-substitution product (Me₃SiO)Me₂SiN(SiMe₃)SiMe₂H 7, 5 to (Me₃SiO)MeSi[N(SiMe₃)SiMe₂H](NHSiMe₃) 8 , (Me₃SiO)MeSi[N(SiMe₃)SiMe₂H]₂ 9 and to the cyclodisilazane 10. 6 gives in THF the cyclodisilazanes 11 : R = H; 12 : R = HMe₂Si) and ( 13 , in n-hexane only 11 in small amounts. An amide solution of 2 with n-butyllithium in the molar ratio 1:1 in n-hexane leads to 8 (main product), 2 and 10; in THF 10 and 2 are obtained nearly in same amounts and 8 and 9 as byproducts. The amide solutions of 3 with n-butyllithium in the molar ratio 1:1 and 1:2, resp., show nearly the same behaviour in n-hexane and THF. In THF 3, 11 , and 12 and in n-hexane 3, 11, 12 , and (Me₃SiO)Si[N(SiMe₃)SiMe₂H](NHSiMe₃)₂ 14 are formed.     

Reaktionen von Lithiumhydridosilylamiden RR′(H)Si–N(Li)R″ mit Chlortrimethylsilan in Tetrahydrofuran und unpolaren Lösungsmitteln: N‐Silylierung und/oder Cyclodisilazanbildung

Reactions of Lithium Hydridosilylamides RR′(H)Si–N(Li)R″ with Chlorotrimethylsilane in Tetrahydrofuran and Nonpolar Solvents: N‐Silylation and/or Formation of Cyclodisilazanes The lithiumhydridosilylamides RR′(H)Si–N(Li)R″ ( 2 a : R = R′ = CHMe₂, R″ = SiMe₃; 2 b : R = R′ = Ph, R″ = SiMe₃; 2 c : R = R′ = CMe₃, R″ = SiMe₃; 2 d : R = R′ = R″ = CMe₃; 2 e : R = Me, R′ = Si(SiMe₃)₃, R″ = CMe₃; 2 f – 2 h : R = R′ = Me, f : R″ = 2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂, g : R″ = SiH(CHMe₂)₂, h : R″ = SiH(CMe₃)₂; 2 i : R = R′ = CMe₃, R″ = SiH(CMe₃)₂) were prepared by reaction of the corresponding hydridosilylamines RR′(H)Si–NHR″ 2 a – 2 i with n‐butyllithium in equimolar ratio in n‐hexane. The unknown amines 1 e – 1 i and amides 2 f – 2 i have been characterized spectroscopically. The wave numbers of the Si–H stretching vibrations and ²⁹Si–¹H coupling constants of the amides are less than of the analogous amines. This indicates a higher hydride character for the hydrogen atom of the Si–H group in the amide in comparison to the amines. The ²⁹Si‐NMR chemical shifts lie in the amides at higher field than in the amines. The amides 2 a – 2 c and 2 e – 2 g react with chlorotrimethylsilane in THF to give the corresponding N‐silylation products RR′(H)Si–N(SiMe₃)R″ ( 3 a – 3 c , 3 e – 3 g ) in good yields. In the reaction of 2 i with chlorotrimethylsilane in molar ratio 1 : 2,33 in THF hydrogen‐chlorine exchange takes place and after hydrolytic work up of the reaction mixture [(Me₃C)₂(Cl)Si]₂NH ( 5 a ) is obtained. The reaction of the amides 2 a – 2 c , 2 f and 2 g with chlorotrimethylsilane in m(p)‐xylene and/or n‐hexane affords mixtures of N‐substitution products RR′(H)Si–N(SiMe₃)R″ ( 3 a – 3 c , 3 f , 3 g ) and cyclodisilazanes [RR′Si–NR″]₂ ( 6 a – 6 c , 6 f , 6 g ) as the main products. In case of the reaction of 2 h the cyclodisilazane 6 h was obtained only. 2 c – 2 e show a very low reactivity toward chlorotrimetyhlsilane in m‐xylene and toluene resp.. In contrast to Me₃SiCl the reactivity of 2 d toward Me₃SiOSO₂CF₃ and Me₂(H)SiCl is significant higher. 2 d react with Me₃SiOSO₂CF₃ and Me₂(H)SiCl in n‐hexane under N‐silylation to give RR′(H)Si–N(SiMe₃)R″ ( 3 d ) and RR′(H)Si–N(SiHMe₂)R″ ( 3 d ′) resp. The crystal structures of [Me₂Si–NSiMe₃]₂ ( I ) ( 6 f , 6 g and 6 h ) have been determined.     

Stabilization of a Silaaldehyde by its η2 Coordination to Tungsten

Treatment of pyridine‐stabilized silylene complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄R)(CO)₂(H)W?SiH(py)(Tsi)] (R=Me, Et; py=pyridine; Tsi=C(SiMe₃)₃) with an N‐heterocyclic carbene ^MeIⁱPr (1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene) caused deprotonation to afford anionic silylene complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄R)(CO)₂W?SiH(Tsi)][H^MeIⁱPr] (R=Me ( 1‐Me ); R=Et ( 1‐Et )). Subsequent oxidation of 1‐Me and 1‐Et with pyridine‐N‐oxide (1 equiv) gave anionic η²‐silaaldehydetungsten complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄R)(CO)₂W{η²‐O?SiH(Tsi)}][H^MeIⁱPr] (R=Me ( 2‐Me ); R=Et ( 2‐Et )). The formation of an unprecedented W‐Si‐O three‐membered ring was confirmed by X‐ray crystal structure analysis.     

Etude structurale de composes organosilicies par diffusion rayleigh depolarisee: VI. Effets electroniques dans les systemes Cz.dbnd;CSi,PhSi,SiCC, SiNSi Et Si3N

Depolarised Rayleigh scattering is sensitive to conjugated electronic effects. The proper effect of silicon bonded to an sp² carbon atom in Me₃SiPh and Me₃SiCHCHΣ (Σ = H, Me, t-Bu, SiMe₃) has been illustrated by comparison of the systems containing a C_sp²M bond with the corresponding systems containing a C_sp³M bond for M = C, Si. To be able to make this comparison it was necessary to study the additivity of the bond and group optical anisotropies in alkenes with Me, CMe₃, SiMe₃ groups by means of a more approximate model assuming axial symmetry for the CC bond but of more convenient and more general use than a more realistic model without axial symmetry. Contrary to the NSi (from monosilylamines), SiOC and SiOSi systems, silicon adjacent to an unsaturated system, causes an exaltation of the optical anisotropy which mainly results from increase of the longitudinal optical polarisability. This exaltation is consistent with electron delocalisation in an orbital obviously longer than the basic π orbital. Such an effect seems strengthened in (Me₃Si)₂NΣ if the donating ability of Σ increases, Σ = H, Me, t-Bu. For Me₃SiCHCHSiMe₃ and if the molecules Me₃SiNHΣ¹ (Σ¹ = Me, t-Bu), (Me₃Si)₂NH and (Me₃Si)₃N are compared, a compensation is observed between the effect of the new lengthening of the π orbital and the π electronic density fall by CSi or NSi bonds.     

Novel aluminum hydride derivatives from the reaction of H(3)Al.NMe(3) with the cyclosilazanes

The amine hydrogen atoms of the cyclic trimeric silazane [Me(2)SiNH](3) are readily replaced by the H(2)Al. NMe(3) group in a simple aminolyis reaction of [Me(2)SiNH](3) with H(3)Al.NMe(3) to afford the aluminum amides (Me(2)SiNAlH(2).NMe(3))(n)(Me(2)SiNH)(3-n) (1, n = 3; 2, n = 1; 4, n = 2). The monosubstituted amide 2 could not be isolated, because it undergoes condensation to the tricyclic compound 1,1',2,2'-(HAlNMe(3))(2) (3). Contrary to these results the analogous reactions of the more flexible cyclic tetrameric silazane [Me(2)SiNH](4) with H(3)Al.NMe(3) did not give simple aluminum amides, but complicated mixtures were obtained from which the interesting polycyclic species Al(5)C(22)H(73)N(10)Si(8).C(6)H(6) (5) and Al(6)C(22)H(76)N(10)Si(8).1/4 C(6)H(14) (6) could be isolated in low yields. A key step in the formation of 5 and 6 is a low-temperature dehydrosilylation reaction which leads to cleavage of the silazane ring. Compounds 1, 3, and 4 were characterized spectroscopically ((1)H, (13)C, (27)Al NMR and FTIR) and by single crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas 5 and 6 were characterized by X-ray diffraction only. Thermolysis experiments involving 1 and 3 indicate that the onset of Al-N bond formation via dehydrosilylation is accompanied by loss of trimethylamine and formation of larger aggregates, which are stable to further silane elimination to at least 620 degrees C.     

Oxo(trisyl)boran (Me3Si)3C?BO als Zwischenstufe

Oxo(trisyl)borane (Me₃Si)₃C? B?O as an Intermediate The acyclic trisylboranes R? B(OSiMe₃)? Cl ( 4 a ) and R? B(OH)? H ( 5 a ) and the cyclic boranes (? RB? O? CO? CO? O? ) ( 1 a ) and (? RB? O? RB? O? SO₂? O? ) ( 6 a ) [R = (Me₃Si)₃C, “Trisyl”] are thermolyzed in the gasphase to give well-defined products. The tris(trisyl)boroxine (? RB? O? )₃ ( 2 a ) is formed from 4 a and 5 a at 140 and 160°C, respectively, besides Me₃SiCl and H₂, respectively, whereas the six-membered ring [? BMe? CH(SiMe₃)? SiMe₂? O? SiMe₂? CH₂? ] ( 8 ) is the product from 1 a and 6 a at 600 and 700°C, respectively, besides CO/CO₂ and SO₃, respectively. The oxoborane R? B?O is presumably a common intermediate. It is stabilized at the lower temperature by cyclotrimerization to give 2 and at the higher temperature by a sequence of several intramolecular steps: a 1,3-silyl shift along the chain C? B? O, an exchange of Me and Me₃SiO along the chain Si? C? B, and a C? H addition to the B?C double bond; the steps can be rationalized by analogous known reactions. The gas-phase thermolysis at 600°C of the dioxaboracyclohexenes (? BR? O? CR′ = CH? CRR′? O? ) ( 7 b? d ; R = Me, iPr, tBu; R′ = Me) yields the boroxines (RBO)₃ and the enones Me? CO? CH?CHR? Me; the cyclohexene 7 e (R = Me; R′ = CF₃) is not decomposed at 600°C.

Atrane-analogous Compounds. III. Atrane-analogous Compounds of the Type Me₂DCH₂CH₂OSi(Me)(OCH₂ CH₂)₂ D′Me (I) and Type Me₂DCH₂CH₂OSi(Me) OCH₂CH₂₂D″Me₂ (II) (Me?CH₃; D, D′, D″?N, P, As) Atrane analogous compounds I and II (Abb. 1) have been prepared by condensation reactions of trifunctional silanes RSiX₃ (X?Cl, OEt, NMe₂) with N-methyldiethanolamine, ß-chloroethanol, ß-dimethylaminoethanol, and ß-dimethylarsanoethanol according to eqn. (1) to (3) and reaction schemes of Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. For compounds of type I weak N→Si adduct bonding is indicated for the MeN-donor of the eight-membered ring by significant shifts of the MeNCH₂ and OCH₂ proton n.m.r. signals. For compounds of type II there is no n.m.r. evidence for D→Si interactions. In spite of equal Lewis acidity of the Si atoms differences in adduct formation are observed for cage, ring, and acyclic podand systems, which can be explained mainly by entropy effects connected to the formation of five-membered rings.     

Zur Chemie des Titan(III)-Komplexes [{(Me3Si)2N}2TiCH2SiMe2NSiMe3]–. Insertions-Reaktionen in die Ti–C-Bindung und Redox-Reaktionen

On the Chemistry of the Titanium(III) Complex [{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂TiCH₂SiMe₂NSiMe₃]^–. Insertion Reactions into the Ti–C Bond and Redox Reactions [Na(12-crown-4)₂][{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂TiCH₂SiMe₂NSiMe₃] ( 1 ) reacts with CO and the isonitrile CNCy (Cy = Cyclohexyl) under insertion into the Ti–C bond. After rearrangement planar five-membered titana(III)-heterocycles TiOCSiN and TiNCSiN with exocyclic C=CH₂ groups are formed. On the other hand, the insertion of CNBu^t leads to the primary insertion product [Na(12-crown-4)₂][{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂TiC(NBu^t)CCH₂SiMe₂NSiMe₃] ( 4 ) forming a new Ti(III)–C-bond. With NOBF₄ the anion of 1 can be oxydized to form the molecular complex [{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂TiCH₂SiMe₂NSiMe₃] ( 5 ), while with phenylacetylene redox disproportionation occurs, in the course of which the mixed ligand complex [Na(12-crown-4)₂][{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂Ti(NSiMe₃)(CH₂SiMe₂C≡C–Ph)] ( 6 ) can be isolated. 6 and the insertion products [Na(12-crown-4)₂][{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂TiOC(CH₂)SiMe₂NSiMe₃] ( 2 ) and [Na(12-crown-4)₂][{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂TiNCyC(CH₂)SiMe₂NSiMe₃] ( 3 ) are characterized by crystal structure determinations.     

Zur Bildung der Cyclotetraphosphane cis- und trans-P4(SiMe3)2(CMe3)2 bei der Umsetzung von (Me3C)PCl2 mit LiP(SiMe3)2 · 2 THF

Formation of the Cyclotetraphosphanes cis- und trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ in the Reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF The mechanism of the reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ 1 with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF 2 was investigated. With a mole ration of 1:1 at ?60°C quantitatively (Me₃C)(Cl)P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 3 is formed. This compound eliminates Me₃SiCl on warming to 20°C, yielding Me₃Si? P?P? CMe₃ 4 (can be trapped using 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene in a 4+2 cycloaddition), which dimerizes to produce the cyclotetraphosphanes cis-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 5 and trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 . Also with a mole ratio of 1:2 initially 3 is formed which remarkably slower reacts on to give [(Me₃Si)₂P]P₂P? CMe₃ 8 . Remaining LiP(SiMe₃)₂ cleaves one Si? P bond of 8 producing (Me₃)₂P? P(CMe₃)? P(SiMe₃)₂Li. Via a condensation to the pentaphosphide 10 and an elimination of LiP(SiMe₃)₂ from this intermediate, eventually trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 is obtained as the exclusive cyclotetra-phosphane product.     

The Synthesis and Molecular Structure of the First Two-Coordinate,Dinuclear σ-Bonded Mercury(I) RHgHgR Compound

A linear Si-Hg-Hg-Si arrangement and a Hg–Hg distance of 265.69 pm are exhibited by the first two-coordinate, dinuclear σ-bonded organomercury(I ) compound 1. It was formed unexpectedly in the reaction of two equivalents of the silane (Me₃SiMe₂Si)₃SiH with tBu₂Hg. In contrast if the reagents are allowed to react in a 1:1 ratio the expected mercury(II ) compound (Me₃SiMe₂Si)₃SiHgtBu is obtained.

Untersuchungen zur Bildung silylierter iso-Tetraphosphane aus P2-chlorierten Triphosphanen und Li-Phosphiden

Investigations on the Formation of Silylated iso-Tetraphosphanes We investigated the formation of iso-tetraphosphanes by reacting [Me(Me₃Si)P]₂PCl 4 , Me(Me₃Si)P? P(Cl)? P(SiMe₃)₂ 8 , Me(Me₃Si)P? P(Cl)? P(SiMe₃)(CMe₃) 9 , [Me(Me₃Si)P]₂PCl 20 , Me₃C(Me₃Si)P? P(Cl)? P(SiMe₃)₂ 21 , and [MeC(Me₃Si)P]₂PCl 22 with LiP(SiMe₃)Me 1 , LiP(SiMe₃)₂ 2 , and LiP(SiMe₃)CMe₃ 3 , respectively, to elucidate possible paths of synthesis, the influence of substituents (Me, SiMe₃, CMe₃) on the course of the reaction, and the properties of the iso-tetraphosphanes. These products are formed via a substitution reaction at the P²Cl group of the iso-triphosphanes. However, with an increasing number of SiMe₃ groups in the triphosphane as well as in reactions with LiP(SiMe₃)Me, cleaving and transmetallation reactions become more and more important. The phosphides 1,2, and 3 attack the PC1 group of 4 yielding the iso-tetraphosphanes P[P(SiMe₃)Me]₃ 5, [Me(Me₃Si)P]₂P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 6 and [Me(Me₃Si)P]₂P? P(SiMe₃)CMe₃ 7. I n reactions With 8 and 9, LiP(SiMe₃)Me causes bond cleavage and mainly leads to Me(Me₃Si)P? P(Me)? P(SiMe₃)₂ 13 and Me(Me₃Si)P? (Me)? P(SiMe₃)CMe₃ 16, resp., and to monophosphanes; minor products are [Me(SiMe₃)P]₂P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 6 and [Me(Me₂Si)P]₂P? P(SiMe₃)CMe₂ 7. LiP(SiMe₃)₂ 2 and LiP(SiMe₃)CMe₂ 3 with 8 and 9 give Me(Me₃,Si)P? P[P(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 10, Me(Me₂Si)P? P[P(SiMe₃)CMe₂]? P(SiMe₃)₂ 11, and Me(Me₃Si)P? P[P(SiMe₃)CMe₃]₂ 12 as favoured products. With 20, LiP(SiMe₃)₂ 2 forms P[P(SiMe₃)₂]₃ 28. Bond cleavage products are obtained in reactions of 20 with 1 and 2, of 21 with 1, 2, and 3, and of 22 with 1 and 2. P[P(SiMe₃)CMe₃]₃ 23 is the main product in the reaction of 22 with LiP(SiMe₃)CRle₂ 3. In the reactions of 22 with 1, 2, and 3 the cyclophosphanes P₃(CMe₃)₂(SiMe₃)25, P₄[P(SiMe₃)CMe₃]₂(CMe₃)₂ 26, and P₅(CMe₃)₄(SiMe₃) 27 are produced. The formation of these rom- pounds begins with bond cleavage in a P- SiMe, group by means of the phosphides. The thermal stability of the iso-tetraphosphanes decreases with an increasing number of silyl groups in the molecule. At 20O°C compounds 5, 7, and 23 are crystals; also 6 is stable; however, 10, It, 12, and 28 decompose already.

Substitution occurs for R′ = SiMe₂CMe₂, (II, III) only.Dichloro-bis(trimethylsilyl)methane reacts with halogenosilanes and lithium in THF to give bis(trimethylsilyl)-halogenosilaethanes (Me₃Si)₂CHSi(Hal)RR′; R= Me, R′ = N(SiMe₃)₂, IV, Hal = F; V, Hal = Cl. However a reductive THF cleavage accompanied by a silyl group migration to the oxygen occurs and 1-halogenosilyl-1- trimethylsilyl-5-trimethylsiloxi-pent-1-ene,(Me₃Si)(RR′SiHal)CCH(CH₂)₃OSiMe₃, Are The main products (VII–X) of these reactions. Disubstitution occurs with F₃Si-i-Pr (VI). (Me₃Si)₃CSiFNHSiMe₂CMe₃ (II) reacts with C₄H₉Li in a molar ratio $\text{1}\text{2}$ to give an 1-aza-2,3-disilacyclobutane (XI), involving substitution, LiF elimination, and nucleophilic migration of a methanide ion of the unsaturated precusor.(Me₃Si)₂CHSiFMeN (2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂)SiMe₃ cyclizes under comparable conditions in the reaction with MeLi via a methylene group of the mesityl group (XII).     

A mechanistic investigation of (Me3Si)3SiH oxidation

The interaction of (Me₃Si)₃SiH with O₂ is known to afford (Me₃SiO)₂Si(H)SiMe₃ in which the two oxygen atoms arise from the same oxygen molecule. In order to investigate the mechanism of this unusual reaction, the oxidation rates were measured in the temperature range 30-70 °C by following oxygen uptake in the presence and absence of hydroquinone as inhibitor. The rate constant for the spontaneous reaction of (Me₃Si)₃SiH with O₂ was determined at 70 °C to be ∼3.5 × 10⁻⁵ M⁻¹ s⁻¹. A sequence of the propagation steps is proposed by combining the previous and present experimental findings with some theoretical results obtained at the semiempirical level. These calculations showed that the silylperoxyl radical (Me₃Si)₃SiOO undergoes three consecutive unimolecular steps to give (Me₃SiO)₂Si()SiMe₃. Evidence has been obtained that the rate determining step is the rearrangement of silylperoxyl radical to a dioxirand-like pentacoordinated silyl radical. Our findings are of considerable importance for the understanding of the oxidation of hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces.

At 30°C 4 isomerizes in solution to the cyclodisilazane 5 within 15 h. 4 reacts with Me₂SiF₂ to the substituted compound 6 , whose Li salt contracts yielding the coupled product 7 . 1,3-Bis(fluorodimethylsilyl)-2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethylcyclotrisilazane isomerizes to the Li salt of the corresponding cyclodisilazane, which reacts with the half-molar quantity of SiF₄ to the Si? N? Si? N? Si bridged cyclodisilazane dimer 8 . The tendency of contraction of 4 is discussed on the basis of its crystal structure.
