Synthesis and thermal rearrangement of some substituted linear and cyclic silanes In part IR we report on the synthesis of substituted silanes, and in part II on their thermal rearrangement. I: me₃i--Sime₃(me = CH₃) is formed by dropwise addition of THF to a suspension of Li powder in me₃SiCl; yield ～ 80%. The mixture me₃Si--Sime₂Cl, me₃SiCl, Li powder and THF reacts analogously to form me₂Si(Sime₃)₂; yield 80%. By the same type of reaction the following compounds are obtained: compound 1 from Brme₂Si?

Sime₂ph 17 (ph = C₆H₅) by reaction with HBr, 17 either from phme₂SiLi and Clme₂SiCH₂Cl or from phme₂Si? Sime₂Br and LiCH₂? Sime₂ph. II: me₂Si(Sime₃)₂ rearranges at 440 °C (56 h) with insertion of the CH₂ group (Si? H formation) into the Si? Si bond and the formation of me₃Si? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₂H, me₂HSi? CH₂? Sime₂? CH₂?

CCl₂? Sime_nCl_3?n (n = 1–3; me = CH₃) are synthesized by reaction of me₃Si? CCl₂Li (formed from me₃Si? CCl₂H with n-buLi, bu = butyl) with the appropriate methylchlorosilanes. The compounds Clme₂Si? CCl₂? Sime_nCl_3?n are obtained by analogous reactions of (C₆H₅)me₂Si? CCl₂Li, cleavage of the Si-phenyl group with bromine and conversion of the Si? Br to the Si? Cl group with HCl in PCl₃. The 2-methyl-2-chloro-1,3-disilapropanes are synthesized by lithination of the CCl₂ group of 2,2-dichloro-1,3-disilapropanes, followed by reaction with meI. (Clme₂Si)₂CmeCl is obtained from (C₆H₅me₂Si)₂CCl₂ by reaction with n-buLi to (C₆H₅me₂Si)₂ CClLi, which forms (C₆H₅me₂Si)CClme with meI.

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 89. Selective Photobromination of Si-methylated Carbosilanes A selective photobromination of the C atoms in the skeleton of Si-methylated carbosilanes is reported. (me₃Si? CH₂)₂Sime₂ reacts to me₃Si? CBr₂? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₃ in good yields (me = CH₃); the second CH₂ group is considerably slower brominated. Photobromination of (me₂Si? CH₂)₃ consecutively yields a and b . Also from (me₂Si? CH₂)₄ the derivative with one CBr₂ group is accessible. Bromination of tertiary CH groups is highly preferred; this is shown by the selective formation of c . The C-bromination of SiBr-substituted carbosilanes is significantly more difficult; nevertheless (Brme₂Si)₂CH₂ selectively forms (Brme₂Si)₂CBr₂. Brme₂Si? CH₂? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₃ forms Brme₂Si? CH₂? Sime₂? CBr₂? Sime₃, i. e., only the CH₂ group non-adjacent to SiBr is attacked. The formation of CHBr groups could not be detected. Higher temperatures and longer reaction times increase the formation of polymers.

Formation and Reaction of P-functional Phosphanes The reaction of (me₃Si)₂PLi · 2 THF a (me = CH₃) with PCl₃ b at ?78°C via the intermediate (me₃Si)₂P? PCl₂ 1 yields [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PCl 2 and [(me₃Si)₂P]₂P? P(Sime₃)₂ 3 . By addition of me₃CLi c to the reaction mixture of a and b (molar ratio a:b:c (molar ratio a:b:c = 1:1:1) at ?60°C, 2 is formed as a main product, which reacts on to yield [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PH 4 (white crystals, mp = 73°C). By reactions of a:b:c in a molar ratio of 1:1:2 the cyclotetraphosphane (me₃C)₃ (me₃Si)P₄ 7 is accessible, and the additional formation of (me₃Si)₂PLi · 2 THF, (me₃Si)₃P and Li₃P₇ · 3 THF 13 was detected. Warming (me₃Si)₂P? PCl(Cme₃) 5 to 20°C produces cis- and trans-cyclotetraphosphanes (me₃Si)₂(me₃C)₂P₄. By running the reaction of a and b at ?78°C and adding me₃CLi only after 24 h, additionally to (me₃Si)₂P? PH Cme₃) and (me₃Si)₃P also (me₃Si)₂P? P(Cme₃)? P(Cme₃)? P (Sime₃)₂ is obtained, which is formed by metallation of (me₃Si)₂P? PCl(Cme₃) with me₃CLi and by further reaction of the intermediate (me₃Si)₂P? PLi(Cme₃) with (me₃Si)₂P? PCl(Cme₃). The reaction of (me₃Si₃)P with PCl₃ at ?78°C only yields (me₃Si)₂P? PCl₂ 1 and me₃SiCl. On addition of me₃CLi (?78°C, molar ratio = 1:1:1) preferrably 2 and (me₃Si)₂P? PCl(Cme₃) are formed, whereas after warming the mixture to 20°C, 4 and (me₃Si)₂P? PH(Cme₃) are found to be the main products. These reactions are induced by the cleavage of 1 by means of me₃CLi, and by the formation of (me₃Si)₂PLi and me₃C? PCl₂.

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 67. Studies of Metallorganic Synthesis of Si-methylated and C-chlorinated Carbosilanes Using Chlorocarbenoids Synthesis and reactions of C₆H₅me₂Si? CCl₂H (A), (H₅C₆me₂Si)₂CCl₂ (B), and me₂Si(CCl₂H)₂ (C) were investigated in order to find conditions for the synthesis of C-functional carbosilanes via chlorocarbenoids. (A) and (B) react with n-butyl-Li(buLi) (?100°C/THF/ether/pentane) yielding H₅C₆me₂Si? CCl₂Li and (H₅C₆me₂Si)CClLi, respectively. These lithium reagents form (B) and(H₅C₆me₂Si)₃CCl with H₅C₆me₂SiCl. In the reaction of (H₅C₆me₂Si)₃CCl with lithium (H₅C₆me₂Si)₃CLi (D) is obtained. (D) forms with H₂O/HCl the compound (H₅C₆me₂Si)₃CH which is cleaved by HBr yielding (Brme₂Si)₃CH. (C) gives LiCCl₂? Sime₂(CCl₂H) with buLi (molar ratio 1:1) in a low temperature reaction. Clme₂Si? CCl₂? Sime₂(CCl₂H) is formed in the reaction of LiCCl₂? Sime₂? CCl₂H with Sime₂CCl₂ (yield >90%). Reacting (C) and buLi (1:3) and treating this solution with Sime₂CI₂ gives (ClSime₂)₂C?CH Sime₂Cl (>85%) via a monosilacyclopropane intermediate. In the inverse reaction, if (C) is added to buLi, (HCCl₂)me₂SiC?Sime₂(CCl₂H) is one of the isolated reaction products. If buLi is added to (C) (2:l) and this solution is treated with Sime₃Cl, compounds me₃Si? CCL₂? Sime₂? CCL₂H, me₃Si? CClH? Sime₂(CCl₂H), (me₃Si? CC1₂)₂Sime₂, me₃Si? CHCI? Sime₂? CC1₂?

The reaction of (b) with HBr (1–4 moles at ?78°C) yields Brme₂Si? CH₂? Sime₂Br, as well as 1,2-dibromo-ethane (main products) and Brme₂Si? CH₂/? Sime₂CH = CHBr, Brme₂Si? CH₂? Sime₂CH₂? CHBr₂.

Formation and Structure of Octamethylhexasila-hexascaphane By rearrangement and abstraction of CH₄ at the presence of AlBr₃ 2 forms 3 , and 6 forms 7 , which is also obtained reacting 8 and 9 under the same condition. Lithination of 1, 1, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 9, 9-Nonamethyl-1, 3, 5, 7, 9-pentasiladecaline yields 12 , which is trapped with me₃SiCl to form 6 . Convertation of 13 to 14 leads to 8 by reaction with ClSi(CH₂—Sime₃)₃. Compound 7 is characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy as well as X-ray structural analysis. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 9, 11, 11-Octamethyl-1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11-hexasila-hexascaphane 7 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 3296.7 pm, b = 1536.2 pm, c = 891.9 pm, β 91.71° and Z = 8 formular units. Both crystallographic independent molecules have approximately the symmetry C₂. The differences of corresponding bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles are unimportant. But there is a distinct dependence of the Si? C bond length relative to the function of the bond in the molecule (Averages: Si? C) (endo) = 188.4 pm, Si? C (exo) = 187.6 (pm).

(me = Ch₃ starting with a Si-methylation and not with a C-metallation as in the corresponding Si- and C-chlorinated compounds, e. g. (Cl₃Si? CCl₂)₂SiCl₂ [2]. A CCl-hydrogenation is observed too, which in the case of F₃Si? CCl₂? SiF₂? CHCl? SiF₃ 4 gives meS₃Si? CCl₂? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₃. (F₃Si? CCl₂)_{2 5} reacts with meMgCl to form preferentially 1,2-Disilapropanes by cleaving a Si? Cbond. The isolation of F₃Si? CCl₂H and meF₂Si? CCl₂? SiF₂me allows to locate the bond where 5 is cleaved at the beginning of the reaction. With meLi 5 reacts to form mainly me₃Si? C?C? Sime₃, showing that in the reaction of meLi, being a stronger reagent than meMgCl, and 5 a C-metallation occurs, following the same mechanism as in the reaction with (Cl₃Si? CCl₂)₂)SiCl₂ [2]. The reaction conditions for the synthesis of Si-fluroinated and C-chlorinated 1,3,5-Trisilapentanes in a 0.1 mol scale are reported. N.m.r. data of all investigated compounds are tabulated.

CH₂? SiCl₂? CCl₂? SiCl₃ b, (Cl₃Si? CCl₂)₂SiCl₂ c or (Cl₂Si? CCl₂)₃ d, e.g., cleaves the Si? P bond of me₃Si? Pme₂ e (me = CH₃); and by subsequent rearrangement ylides are formed. Such, treating e with a yields (Cl₃Si)₂CPme₂Cl 1, which also results from the reaction of me₂P? Pme₂ with a. The ylides also can be obtained by means of treating the carbosilanes a, b, c or d with LiPme₂. Thus, c with one mole of LiPme₂ yields Cl₃Si? CCl₂? SiCl₂? C(Pme₂Cl)? SiCl₃ or Cl₃Si? C(Pme₂Cl)? SiCl₂? C(Pme₂Cl)? SiCl₃, resp., with two moles of LiPme₂. The corresponding Si-methylated derivates do not form ylides; (me₃Si)₂CCl₂, e.g., with e in benzene yields me₃Si? CH(Pme₂)? Sime₃. One mole of Lime methylates 1 to yield (Cl₃Si)₂CPme₃ 11. With either LiPme₂, me₃Si? Pme₂ or Me₂P? Pme₂ 1 forms (Cl₃Si)₂CPme₂-Pme₂. Reacting 1 with CH₃OH/(C₂H₅)₂NH, (Cl₃Si)[SiCl₂(OCH₃)]CPme₂(OCH₃) is formed. Ylides also result from the reactions of partially C-chlorinated 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexachloro-1,3,5-trisilacyclohexanes with me₃Si? Pme₂, (Cl₂Si? CCl₂)₃ with three moles of me₃Si? Pme₂ or LiPme₂, resp., yields (Cl₂Si? CPme₂Cl)₃ 16, the 1,1,3,3,5,5-Hexachlor-2,4,6-tris(chlordimethylphosphoranyliden)-1,3,5-trisilacyclohexan, which crystallizes with one mole of monoglyme. X-ray structure determinations revealed that 1, 11 and 16 are planar. As well the (P? C) as the (Si? C) bond lengths are remarkably shortened; in 1 (P? C) to 173.3 pm, (Si? C) to 173.3 pm, (Si? C) to 179.5 pm, in 16 (P? C) to 168.7 pm, (Si? C) to 180 pm. The (Si? C) and (P? C) bond orders amount to about 1.33, and are relatively equally distributed. Therefore, the charge of the formal carbanion is equally distributed, which shall be expressed by means of the following kind of writing for 1 and 16 see “Inhaltsübersicht”.

Sime₂CH₂Cl, and of 1,1,3,3,5-pentaphenyl-1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane to HC?C? Sime₂CH₂Br yields a and b , or c and d , resp. (Formulae see Inhaltsübersicht), whereas 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexanes with more SiH groups preferrably yield polymers. The c/d ratio is strongly governed by the solvent: 38% c in n-hexane, 72% c in CCl₄/cyclohexane. Treatment of c and d with HCl/AlCl₃ under cleavage of all of the phenyl groups, addition of HCl to the vinyl group and subsequent β-elimination leads to (Cl₂Si? CH₂)₃ ClSime₂? CH₂Br and compound e , whereas HBr at ?78°C only cleaves one phenyl group per Si atom.

In the P₇ system tge P? P bond lengths differ functionally, namely 221.4 pm in the three-membered ring, 219.2 pm at the ring atoms and 217.9 pm at the bridgehead atom. The P? Si and Si?

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 77. Zur Bildung von Carbosilanen aus Methylsilanen

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 77. Formation of Carbosilanes from Methylsilanes The products formed by pyrolysis of me₃SiH, me₂SiH₂, and meSiH₃ are reported. Sime₄ and the mentioned methylsilanes were reacted in a plasma, and the products are compared to those of the pyrolysis. The pyrolysis of me₃SiH and me₂SiH₂ essentially yields the same groups of carbosilanes which are accessible by thermal decomposition of Sime₄, if the range is restricted to compounds with 4 Si atoms at most. Cylic carbosilanes are the main products of the pyrolysis of me₃SiH, and amoung these, 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexanes and 1,3,5,7-tetrasilaadamantanes are preferrently formed. From me₂SiH₂ above all linear compounds as 1,3-disilapropanes are obtained. This is attributed to the chosen experimental procedure in which they not subject to further reaction. In the pyrolysis of meSiH₃ a yellow solid is formed besides little amounts of meH₂Si? SiH₂me. Compared to the compounds formed by pyrolysis of Sime₄, the carbosilasen obtained from me₃SiH and me₂SiH₂ possess more SiH substituents. Also the decomposition of Sime₄ in a plasma preferrently yields carbosilanes, mainly linear compounds with 2 or 3 Si atoms.

Investigations Concerning the Metallation of the Cyclotetraphosphanes P₄(Cme₃)₃(Sime₃), P₄(Cme₃)₂(Sime₃)₂, and P₄(Sime₃)₄ The reaction of white phosphorus with LiCme₃ and me₃SiCl yields P₄(Sime₃)(Cme₃)₃ 1 . With n-buLi this crystalline cyclotetraphosphane forms the crystalline LiP₄(Cme₃)₃. In the same manner, n-buLi, with trans-P₄(Sime₃)₂(Cme₃)₂ 2 to yields LiP₄(Sime₃)(Cme₃)₂, which in contrast to LiP₄(Cme₃)₃ decomposes within a few hours yielding P(Sime₃)₂n-bu 6 , P(Sime₃)₃ 8 , LiP(Sime₃)₂ 9 and also the cyclic compounds P₄(Sime₃)(Cme₃)₃ 10 , LiP₄(Cme₃)₃ 11 and LiP₃(Cme₃)₂ 12 . The composition of the product mixture depends on the molar ratio of 2 to LiC₄H₉. At a molar ratio of 1:1 11 and 12 are not jet observed. At molar ratios of 1:1.5 and 1:2 P(Sime₃)₃ is not found. The amount of 11 and 12 grows with increasing concentration of n-buLi. On addition of n-buLi the solution of P₄(Sime₃)₄ immediately turns red. Li₃P₇ and Li₂P₇(Sime₃) (among others) are formed so fast that the first intermediates in the lithiation sequence so far could not be elucidated. These results demonstrate clearly that replacement of two me₃Si groups in P₄(Sime₃)₄ by two me₃C groups excludes the rearrangement of LiP₄(Sime₃)(Cme₃)₂ to a P₇-molecule.     

Monolithinierte Silylphosphane

Monolithium Silylphosphanes We report a convenient method for preparation of (me₃Si)₂PLi-etherates (me = CH₃) using the cleavage of (me₃Si)₃P with butyllithium. If monoglyme is used as a solvent the reaction occurs at ?40°C according to equation If other ethers are applied the crystalline adducts (me₃Si)₂PLi · 1 triglyme, (me₃Si)₂PLi · 2 THF are formed. In the presence of less polar solvents e.g. dioxane or diethylether the cleavage reaction occurs on heating only; in nonpolar solvents e.g. toluene or pentane no cleavage is observed. In monoglyme (me₃Si)₃P undergoes a cleavage reaction at ?40°C with butyllithium, at ?20°C with methyllithium, with LiPHme and LiP(C₂H₅)₂ at 0°C forming (me₃Si)₂PLi · 1 monoglyme. The reaction of (me₃Si)₂PH with butyllithium in cyclopentane gives (me₃Si)₂PLi which is free of any coordinated ether.

The metallation of (me₃Si)₃P₂H with t-buLi leads to the same results. t-buLi with [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PH 2 in pentane forms [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PLi, which reacts on with meCl or me₃SiCl to [(me₃Si)₂P]₂Pme or [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PSime₃, resp. On addition of monoglyme to a suspension of [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PLi in pentane, or by treating [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PH in ethers with t-buLi (me₃Si)₂PLi, Li₃P₇, (me₃Si)₃P, are formed. The same compounds are generated by reacting [(me₃Si)₂P]₂P—Sime₃ in ethers with t-buLi. The metallation of (me₃Si)₃P₇ in ethers with t-buLi yields (me₃Si)₂PLi, (me₃Si)₃P, (t-bu)₃P₄?(Sime₃), Li₃P₇ and a red solid. The formation of (me₃Si)₂P₇Li is the first step of this reaction.
