Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 108. Thermisch induzierte Reaktionen aminosubstituierter Disilane

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 108 [1]. Thermally Induced Reactions of Amino-Substituted Disilanes Thermally induced reactions of amino-substituted disilanes yield Si rich silanes. At 300°C, Me₃Si? SiMe₂? NMeH 1 yields Me₃Si? NMeH 2 and Me₃Si? (SiMe₂)₂-NMeH 3 in a ratio 1 : 2 : 3 = 1,6 : 1 : 1, whereas Me₃Si? SiMe₂? N(iPr)H 4 at 350°C yields Me₃Si? N(iPr)H 5 , Me₃Si? (SiMe₂)₂-N(iPr)H 6 and Me₃Si? (SiMe₂)₃? N(iPr)H 7 in a ratio of 4 : 6 : 7 = 0.8 : 1.0 : 0.6. Me₃Si? SiMe₂? NMe₂ 8 at 300°C (72 h) yields Me₃Si? NMe₂ 9 and Me₃Si-(SiMe₂)₂-NMe₂ 10 in a ratio of 9 : 8 : 10 = 1 : 0.22 : 0.44 The thermal stability of these disilanes is determined by the sterical requirements of the amino substituents NMeH < NMe₂ < N(iPr)H. The introduction of a second NMe₂ group decreases the stability and favours the formation of Si rich silanes. Such, Me₂N? (SiMe₂)₂? NMe₂ 11 already at 250°C (2 h) yields Me₂N? SiMe₂? NMe₂ 12 , Me₂N? (SiMe₂)₂? NMe₂ 13 and Me₂N? (SiMe₂)₄? NMe₂ 14 in a ratio of 11 : 13 : 14 = 0.3 : 0.9 : 1.0. The reactions can be understood as insertions of thermally produced dimethylsilylene into the Si? N bond of the disilanes. This process is strongly favoured as compared to the trapping reactions with Ph? C?C? Ph or Et₃SiH. The mentioned reactions correspond closely to those of the methoxy-disilanes[2]. However (MeN? SiMe₂? SiMe₂)₂ 15 , obtained from HMeN? (SiMe₂)₂? NMeH by condensation [3], at 400°C suffers a ring contraction to octymethyl-1,3-diaza-2,4,5-trisilacyclopentane (69 weight %), and yields also some solid residue, the composition of which corresponds to Si₃C₇NH₂₁.     

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.     

1‐Silacyclopent‐2‐enes and 1‐silacyclohex‐2‐enes bearing functionally substituted silyl groups in 2‐positions. Novel electron‐deficient Si?H?B bridges

The reactions of alkyn‐1‐yl(vinyl)silanes R₂Si[C?C‐Si(H)Me₂]CH?CH₂ [R = Me (1a), Ph (1b)], Me₂Si[C?C‐Si(Br)Me₂]CH?CH₂ (2a), and of alkyn‐1‐yl(allyl)silanes R₂Si[C?C‐Si(H)Me₂]CH₂CH?CH₂ (R = Me (3a), R = Ph (3b)] with 9‐borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane in a 1:1 ratio afford in high yield the 1‐silacyclopent‐2‐ene derivatives 4a, b and 5a, and the 1‐silacyclohex‐2‐ene derivatives 6a, b, respectively, all of which bear a functionally substituted silyl group in 2‐position and the boryl group in 3‐position. This is the result of selective intermolecular 1,2‐hydroboration of the vinyl or allyl group, followed by intramolecular 1,1‐organoboration of the alkynyl group. In the cases of 4a, b, potential electron‐deficient Si? H? B bridges are absent or extremely weak, whereas in 6a,b the existence of Si? H? B bridges is evident from the NMR spectroscopic data (¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR). The molecular structure of 4b was determined by X‐ray analysis. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

2,4,6-Tri-tert.butylphenyl-substituierte Silane

2,4,6-Tri-tert.butylphenyl Substituted Silanes 2,4,6-Tri-tert.butylphenyl lithium reacts with trimethoxysilane, triethoxysilane, and triphenoxysilane to give the dialkoxy- or diphenoxy-(2,4,6-tri-tert.butylphenyl)-silanes Ar? SiH(OR¹)₂ 3 ? 5 (Ar = 2,4,6-tri.tert.butylphenyl, R¹ = Me, Et, Ph). Interaction of methyl lithium or n-butyl lithium with 3 – 5 leads under partial or complete substitution of the OR¹-functions to the silanes Ar? SiH(OR¹)R² 7 – 11 and Ar? SiHR₂² 12 and 13 (R² = Me, Bu). Reaction of 3 with lithium tert.butul-amide gives tert.butylamino-methoxy-(2,4,6-tri-tert.butylphenyl)-silane 14 . 5 is reduced by LiAlH₄ to 2,4,6-tri-tert.butylphenyl-silane 6 . The reaction of 3 with antimony trifluoride results in formation of 2,4,6-tri-tert.butylphenyl trifluorosilane 2 . Attempts to replace the alkoxy or phenoxy groups in 3 – 5 by chlorine led under silion carbon bond cleavage to 1,3,5-tri-tert.butylbenzene.

The reactivity of organylethynyl silatranylmethyl chalcogenides RC=CYCH₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N (R=Ph, Me₃Si; Y=S, Se, Te) in the reaction with methyl iodide depending on the nature of the chalcogen Y, the substituent R at the triple bond, and the reaction conditions was studied.

Cyclopentadienyl titanium complexes with aryldiazenido- or phosphiniminato-ligands

[Ti(η⁵-C₅H₅)Cl₃] reacts with Me₃SiNNPh to give [Ti(η⁵-C₅H₅)Cl₂(N₂Ph)], and this gives [Ti(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Cl(N₂Ph)] on treatment with sodium cyclopentadienide in THF at ?80°C. [Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄R)Cl₃] (R  H, Me) reacts analogously with Me₃SiNPR₃ (PR₃  PPh₃, PPh₂Me) to give [Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄R)Cl₂(NPR₃)]. Under similar conditions TiCl₄ gives [TiCl₄(Me₃SiNPR₃)].     

Synthesis,Structure, and Reactivity of Diazene Adducts: Isolation of iso‐Diazene Stabilized as a Borane Adduct

This work describes the synthesis and full characterization of a series of GaCl₃ and B(C₆F₅)₃ adducts of diazenes R¹?N?N?R² (R¹=R²=Me₃Si, Ph; R¹=Me₃Si, R²=Ph). Trans‐Ph?N?N?Ph forms a stable adduct with GaCl₃, whereas no adduct, but instead a frustrated Lewis acid–base pair is formed with B(C₆F₅)₃. The cis‐Ph?N?N?Ph ? B(C₆F₅)₃ adduct could only be isolated when UV light was used, which triggers the isomerization from trans‐ to cis‐Ph?N?N?Ph, which provides more space for the bulky borane. Treatment of trans‐Ph?N?N?SiMe₃ with GaCl₃ led to the expected trans‐Ph?N?N?SiMe₃ ? GaCl₃ adduct but the reaction with B(C₆F₅)₃ triggered a 1,2‐Me₃Si shift, which resulted in the formation of a highly labile iso‐diazene, Me₃Si(Ph)N?N; stabilized as a B(C₆F₅)₃ adduct. Trans‐Me₃Si?N?N?SiMe₃ forms a labile cis‐Me₃Si?N?N?SiMe₃ ? B(C₆F₅)₃ adduct, which isomerizes to give the transient iso‐diazene species (Me₃Si)₂N?N ? B(C₆F₅)₃ upon heating. Both iso‐diazene species insert easily into one B?C bond of B(C₆F₅)₃ to afford hydrazinoboranes. All new compounds were fully characterized by means of X‐ray crystallography, vibrational spectroscopy, CHN analysis, and NMR spectroscopy. All compounds were further investigated by DFT and the bonding situation was assessed by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis.     

Cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine tellurides: synthesis and multinuclear (31P, 125Te,and 113Cd) NMR characterization in solution

New cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine telluride ligands of the type CdX₂(R₃PTe)_n [X?=?ClO₄^?, n?=?4: R?=?n-Bu (1), Me₂?N (2), C₅H₁₀?N (3), C₄H₈?N (4) or OC₄H₈?N (5); X?=?Cl^–, n?=?2: R?=?n-Bu (6), Me₂?N (7), C₅H₁₀?N (8), C₄H₈?N (9) or OC₄H₈?N (10)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and multinuclear (³¹P, ¹²⁵Te, and ¹¹³Cd) NMR spectroscopy. In particular, the solution structures of these complexes were confirmed by ¹¹³Cd NMR at low temperature, which displays a quintuplet for each of the perchlorate complexes and a triplet for each of the chloride complexes due to coupling with four and two equivalent phosphorus atoms, respectively, indicating a four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry for the metal center. These multiplet features were further accompanied by one bond Te–Cd couplings, clearly showing that the ligand is coordinated to the metal through tellurium. The results are discussed and compared with those obtained for closely related phosphine chalcogenide analogs.     

Synthesis and characterization of aluminum(III) and tin(II) complexes supported by diiminophosphinate ligands and their application in ring‐opening polymerization catalysis of ε‐caprolactone

A series of Al(III) and Sn(II) diiminophosphinate complexes have been synthesized. Reaction of Ph(ArCH₂)P(?NBu^t)NHBu^t (Ar = Ph, 3 ; Ar = 8‐quinolyl, 4 ) with AlR₃ (R = Me, Et) gave aluminum complexes [R₂Al{(NBu^t)₂P(Ph)(CH₂Ar)}] (R = Me, Ar = Ph, 5 ; R = Me, Ar = 8‐quinolyl, 6 ; R = Et, Ar = Ph, 7 ; R = Et, Ar = quinolyl, 8 ). Lithiated 3 and 4 were treated with SnCl₂ to afford tin(II) complexes [ClSn{(NBu^t)₂P(Ph)(CH₂Ar)}] (Ar = Ph, 9 ; Ar = 8‐quinolyl, 10 ). Complex 9 was converted to [(Me₃Si)₂NSn{(NBu^t)₂P(Ph)(CH₂Ph)}] ( 11 ) by treatment with LiN(SiMe₃)₂. Complex 11 was also obtained by reaction of 3 with [Sn{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂]. Complex 9 reacted with [LiOC₆H₄Bu^t‐4] to yield [4‐Bu^tC₆H₄OSn{(NBu^t)₂P(Ph)(CH₂Ph)}] ( 12 ). Compounds 3–12 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of complexes 6 , 10 , and 11 were further characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. The catalytic activity of complexes 5–8 , 11 , and 12 toward the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone (CL) was studied. In the presence of BzOH, the complexes catalyzed the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐CL in the activity order of 5 > 7 ≈ 8 > 6 ? 11 > 12 , giving polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. The kinetic studies showed a first‐order dependency on the monomer concentration in each case. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 4621–4631, 2006     

SCHWEFELDIIMIDE MIT SILYL-, GERMYL-, STANNYL- UND PHOSPHINYL-HETEROSUBSTITUENTEN. SYNTHESE UND NMR-SPEKTROSKOPISCHE CHARAKTERISIERUNG

Abstract

Reactions of the salts K₂SN₂ and K[(NSN)R] (R = ′Bu, SiMe₃ and P′Bu₂) with organoelement chlorides R′R′ěl have been used to prepare four series of model sulfur diimides: R′R″E(NSN)ER″R′, ′Bu(NSN)ER″R′, Me₃Si(NSN)E″R′ and ^tBu₂P(NSN)ER″R′, respectively (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn; R′ and R″ = alkyl or aryl group). All compounds have been characterized by ′H and ¹³C NMR and—if possible—by ³¹P, ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The configuration (Z or E) of the substituents R and E″R′ has been assigned in several cases using ^tBu(NSN)^tBu (1) as a reference. The E,Z assignment of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N nuclei in 1 is based on selectively ¹H-decoupled refocused INEPT ¹⁵N NMR and two-dimensional (2D) ¹³C/¹H heteronuclear shift correlations. The sulfur diimides under study are in general fluxional in solution.     

Syntheses,Characterizations, Crystal structures,and Antitumor Activities of Arenetelluronic Triorganotin Esters

Six new arenetelluronic triorganotin esters, namely (R₃Sn)₄[ArTe(μ‐O)(OH)O₂)]₂ (Ar = Ph, R = Me: 1 , R = Ph: 2 ; Ar = 3‐Me‐Ph, R = Me: 3 , R = Ph: 4 , Ar = 3‐Cl‐Ph, R = Me: 5 , R = Ph: 6 ), were prepared by treating arenetelluronic acids with the corresponding R₃SnCl (R = Me, Ph) with potassium hydroxide in methanol. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, and X‐ray crystallography. The structural analyses indicate that these complexes are isostructural as Sn₄Te₂ moiety, in which the Te₂(μ₂‐O)₂ units are situated in the center and each Te atom is coordinated with two OSnR₃ groups on the side. Complexes 1 , 3 , and 5 show one‐dimensional chain and two‐dimensional network supramolecular structures by intermolecular C H···O or C H···Cl interactions. The antitumor activities of these complexes reveal that most arenetelluronic triorganotin esters have powerful antitumor activities with certain regularity.     

Die Phosphide LiR2P7, Li2RP7 (R = Me3Si,Et, iPr,iBu) und alkyliert-silylierte Heptaphosphane(3)

The Phosphides LiR₂P₇, Li₂RP₇ (R = Me₃Si, Et, iPr, iBu) as well as Mixed Alkylated and Silylated Heptaphosphanes(3) Formation and properties of LiR₂P₇ and Li₂PR₇ (R = Me₃Si, Et, iPr, iBu) and their reactions with Me₃SiCl or alkylhalides yielding mixed alkylated and silylated heptaphosphanes(3) are reported. Reactions of (Me₃Si)₃P₇ and Li₃P₇. 3 DME produce mixtures of Li(Me₃Si)₃P₇, Li₂(Me₃Si)P₇ and Li₃P₇ from which pure Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (s, as) can be isolated by means of an extraction with toluene. Similarly, the isomers of LiR₂P₇ (R = Et, iPr, iBu) can be extracted from the mixtures obtained by reacting Li₃P₇ with alkylbromides. The (s) isomers of LiR₂P₇ in solution at about 20°C from the (as) isomers whereas the latter up to 70°C do not show any inversion. The (as) lithiumdialkylphosphides can be obtained as ether free products (red brown powder, isoluble in toluene, soluble in THF) by repeated addition of toluene and removal of the solvents; the (s) isomers decompose during the procure. In reactions of LiEt₂P₇. THF (s, as) in toluene at ?30°C with EtBr only the (s) isomer is substituted and gives Et₃P₇ (s), however on warming to 20°C by inversion of P^e a ratio of (s) : (as( = 1 : 3 is obtained. With Li(iBu)₂P₇, (s) reaction begins above ?20°C the giving both the (s) and the (as) isomer. (iBu)₃P₇ (s) is the prefered isomer at higher temperatures. Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (s, as) with Me₃SiCl exclusively yields (Me₃Si)₃P₇ (s). Li₂RP₇ (R = alkyl, Me₃SI) is not available. From mixtures with LiR₂P₇ and Li₃P₇, it can be isolated only after repeated cumbersome extraction of LiR₂P₇ as was shown with Li₂(iPr)P₇ as an example. Ether free LiEt₂P₇(s, as) with Me₃SiCl exclusively gives Et₂(Me₃Si)P₇ (s, as) whereas LiEt₂P₇ ? THF due to its THF content does not. Similarly, ether free Li(iBu)₂P₇ yields (iBu)₂(Me₃Si)P₇ (s, as). The compounds R(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (R = alkyl) cannot be selectively prepared neither starting from Li₂RP₇ with Me₃SiCI) nor from Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ with RX. Such, the reaction of Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ ? THF with EtBr in toluene at ?78°C yield a mixture of Et(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (42%), Et₂(Me₃Si)P₇ (27010), (Me₃Si)₃P₇ (29%) and Et₃P₇ (2%). (Me₃Si)₃P₇ with MeI in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 at 70°C quantitatively produces Me(Me₃Si)₂P₇ whereas already using a molar ratio of 1 : 2 also Me₃P₇ is obtained. With EtBr mixtures of Et(Me₃Si)₂P₇ and Et₃P₇ are formed. iBuBr gives iBu₃P₇, but tBuBr does not yield any tBu₃P₇.     

Lithiumhydridosilylamide R2(H)SiN(Li)R′ – Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Kristallstrukturen

Lithium Hydridosilylamides R₂(H)SiN(Li)R′ – Preparation, Properties, and Crystal Structures The hydridosilylamines R₂(H)SiNHR′ ( 1 a : R = CHMe₂, R′ = SiMe₃; 1 b : R = Ph, R′ = SiMe₃; 1 c : R = CMe₃, R′ = SiMe₃; 1 d : R = R′ = CMe₃) were prepared by coammonolysis of chlorosilanes R₂(H)SiCl with Me₃SiCl ( 1 a , 1 b ) as well as by reaction of (Me₃C)₂(H)SiNHLi with Me₃SiCl ( 1 c ) and Me₃CNHLi with (Me₃C)₂(H)SiCl ( 1 d ). Treatment of 1 a–1 d with n-butyllithium in equimolar ratio in n-hexane resulted in the corresponding lithiumhydridosilylamides R₂(H)SiN(Li)R′ 2 a–2 d , stable in boiling m-xylene. The amines and amides were characterized spectroscopically, and the crystal structures of 2 b–2 d were determined. The comparison of the Si–H stretching vibrations and ²⁹Si–¹H coupling constants indicates that the hydrogen atom of the Si–H group in the amides has a high hydride character. The amides are dimeric in the solid state, forming a planar four-membered Li₂N₂ ring. Strong (Si)H … Li interactions exist in 2 c and 2 d , may be considered as quasi tricyclic dimers. The ‘‘NSiHLi rings”︁”︁ are located on the same side of the central Li₂N₂ ring. In 2 b significant interactions occurs between one lithium atom and the phenyl substituents. Furthermore all three amides show CH₃ … Li contacts.     

Unerwartete Reduktion von [Cp*TaCl4(PH2R)] (R = But,Cy, Ad,Ph, 2,4,6‐Me3C6H2; Cp* = C5Me5) durch Reaktion mit DBU – Molekülstruktur von [(DBU)H][Cp*TaCl4] (DBU = 1,8‐Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐en)

Unexpected Reduction of [Cp*TaCl₄(PH₂R)] (R = Bu^t, Cy, Ad, Ph, 2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂; Cp* = C₅Me₅) by Reaction with DBU – Molecular Structure of [(DBU)H][Cp*TaCl₄] (DBU = 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene) [Cp*TaCl₄(PH₂R)] (R = Bu^t, Cy, Ad, Ph, 2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂ (Mes); Cp* = C₅Me₅) react with DBU in an internal redox reaction with formation of [(DBU)H][Cp*TaCl₄] ( 1 ) (DBU = 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene) and the corresponding diphosphane (P₂H₂R₂) or decomposition products thereof. 1 was characterised spectroscopically and by crystal structure determination. In the solid state, hydrogen bonding between the (DBU)H cation and one chloro ligand of the anion is observed.     

Insertion von Heteroallenen in Trimethylsilyl-diphenylphosphin

Insertion of Heteroallenes into Trimethylsilyl Diphenylphosphine The Si? P bond in Me₃SiPPh₂ is easily attacked by the electrophilic heteroallenes CS₂, RNCS(R ? Ph, Me) and RNCO (R ? Ph, Me). Normally, air- and water-sensitive 1:1 insertion products containing a Si? S (CS₂) or Si? N bond (RNCS, RNCO) and small amounts of hydrolysis products are obtained. The IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra are discussed.     

A Diazabutadiene stabilized Nickel(0) Cyclooctadiene Complex: Synthesis,Characterization and the Reaction with Diphenylacetylene

The reaction of [Ni(COD)₂] with one equivalent of DAB^Mes (DAB^Mes = (2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂)N=C(Me)‐C(Me)=N(2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂)) affords a mixture of the compound [Ni(DAB^Mes)₂] ( 2 ) and starting material [Ni(COD)₂]. The crystallographically characterized, diamagnetic complex 2 can be obtained in a stoichiometric reaction of [Ni(COD)₂] and two equivalents of DAB^Mes. This reaction can be accelerated by addition of 1‐chloro‐fluorobenzene or methyl iodide. In the presence of 1‐chloro‐fluorobenzene, [Ni(DAB^Mes)(COD)] ( 3 ) is available via reaction of [Ni(COD)₂] and one equivalent of DAB^Mes. The crystallographically characterized complex 3 reacts with diphenylacetylene to afford [Ni(DAB^Mes)(Ph‐C≡C‐Ph)] ( 4 ). A long‐wavelength absorption band in the UV‐Vis spectrum of this compound has to be assigned to a mixed MLCT/LL′CT transition, as quantum chemical calculations reveal.     

Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Reaktionsverhalten von 2-(Dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl- und 8-(Dimethylamino)naphthylsubstituierten Lithiumhydridosilylamiden – Bildung von Silaniminen durch Lithiumhydrideliminierung

Preparation, Properties, and Reaction Behaviour of 2-(Dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl- and 8-(Dimethylamino)naphthylsubstituted Lithium Hydridosilylamides – Formation of Silanimines by Elimination of Lithium Hydride The hydridosilylamines Ar(R)Si(H)–NHR′ ( 2 a : Ar = 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄, R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; 2 b : Ar = 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄, R = Ph, R′ = CMe₃; 2 c : Ar = 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄, R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃; 2 d : Ar = 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆, R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; 2 e : Ar = 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆, R = Ph, R′ = CMe₃; 2 f : Ar = 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆, R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃) have been synthesized from the appropriate chlorosilanes Ar(R)SiHCl either by reaction with the stoichiometric amount of Me₃CNHLi ( 2 a , 2 b , 2 d , 2 e ) or by coammonolysis in liquid NH₃ with chlorotrimethylsilane in molar ratio 1 : 3 ( 2 c , 2 f ). Treatment of 2 a–2 f with n-butyllithium in equimolar ratio in n-hexane resulted in the lithiumhydridosilylamides Ar(R)Si(H)–N(Li)R′ 3 a–3 f . The frequencies of the Si–H stretching vibration and ²⁹Si–¹H coupling constants in the amides are smaller than in the analogous amines indicating a higher hydride character for the hydrogen atom of the Si–H group in the amides compared to the amines. Results of NMR spectroscopic studies point to the existence of a (Me₂)N → Si coordination bond in the 8-(dimethylamino)naphthyl-substituted amines and amides. The amides 3 a–3 c are stable under refluxing in m-xylene. At the same conditions 3 d and 3 e eliminate LiH and the silanimines 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆(R)Si=NCMe₃ ( 4 d : R = Me, 4 e : R = Ph) are formed. The amides 3 a–3 d und 3 f react with chlorotrimethylsilane in THF to give the corresponding N-substitution products Ar(R)Si(H)–N(SiMe₃)R′ 6 a–6 d and 6 f in good yields. 4 d is formed as a byproduct in the reaction of 3 d with chlorotrimethylsilane. In n-hexane and m-xylene these amides are little reactive opposite to chlorotrimethylsilane. 6 a–6 d and 6 f are obtained in very small amounts. In the case of 3 d besides the N-substitution product 6 d the silanimine 4 d is obtained. In contrast to chlorotrimethylsilane the amides 3 a and 3 f react well with chlorodimethylsilane in m-xylene producing 2-Me₂NCH₂C₆H₄(H) SiMe–N(SiHMe₂)CMe₃ ( 7 a ) and 8-Me₂NC₁₀H₆(H)SiMe–N(SiHMe₂)SiMe₃ ( 7 f ).     

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.     

Sterically Demanding Novel Triazole Based Tertiary Phosphines: Synthesis,Transition Metal Chemistry and Catalytic Applications

Sterically demanding 2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methylphenyl and 1,2,3-triazole based tertiary phosphines, [Ar*{1,2,3-N₃C(Ph)C(PR₂)}] (R=Ph, 3 ; R=ⁱPr, 4 ) were obtained by the temperature-controlled lithiation of 1-(2,6-dibenzydryl-4-methyl)-5-iodo-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole ( 2 ) followed by the reaction with R₂PCl (R=Ph, ⁱPr). Treatment of 3 with H₂O₂, elemental sulfur and selenium yielded chalcogenides [Ar*{1,2,3-N₃C(Ph)C(P(E)Ph₂)}] (E=O, 5 ; E=S, 6 ; E=Se, 7 ). The reaction of 3 with [Pd(COD)Cl₂] in 1 : 1 molar ratio, afforded dimeric complex [Pd(μ₂-Cl)Cl{Ar*{1,2,3-N₃C(Ph)C(PPh₂)}-κ¹-P}]₂ ( 8 ), whereas the reactions of 3 and 4 with [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)Cl]₂ in 2 : 1 molar ratios produced complexes [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)Cl{Ar*{1,2,3-N₃C(Ph)C(PR₂)}-κ¹-P}] (R=Ph, 9 ; R=ⁱPr, 10 ). Treatment of 3 with [Pd(OAc)₂] in 1 : 1 molar ratio afforded a rare trinuclear complex [{Pd₃(OAc)₄}{Ar*{1,2,3-N₃C(C₆H₄)C(PPh₂)}-κ²-C,P}₂] ( 11 ). Treatment of 3 and 4 with [AuCl(SMe₂)] resulted in [AuCl{Ar*{1,2,3-N₃C(Ph)C(PR₂)}-κ¹-P}] (R=Ph, 12 ; R=ⁱPr, 13 ). Bulky phosphine 4 was very effective in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and amination reactions with very low catalyst loading. Molecular structures of 3 – 5 , and 8 – 13 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
