Tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamin und seine lithiierten und silylierten Derivate — Kristallstruktur des dimeren Lithium-trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amids

Tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamine and the lithiated and silylated Derivatives — X-Ray Structure of the dimeric Lithium Trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amide The ammonolysis of the chlor, brom or trifluormethanesulfonyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silane yields the colorless tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamine, destillable at 51°C and 0.02 Torr. The subsequent lithiation, reaction with chlor trimethylsilane and repeated lithiation lead to the formation of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamide, trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amine and finally lithium trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amide, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 386.7(2); b = 2 040.2(3); c = 1 609.6(2) pm; β = 96.95(1)° and Z = 4 dimeric molecules. The cyclic Li₂N₂ moiety with Li? N bond distances displays a short transannular Li …? Li contact of 229 pm. The dimeric molecule shows nearly C₂-symmetry, so that one lithium atom forms agostic bonds to both the trimethylsilyl groups, the other one to the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents. However, the ⁷Li{¹H}-NMR spectrum displays a high field shifted singlet at —1.71 ppm. The lithiation of trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amine leads to a high field shift of the ²⁹Si{¹H} resonance of about 12 ppm for the Me₃SiN group, whereas the parameters of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl ligand remain nearly unaffected.     

Derivatization of Tris(trimethylsilyl)heptaphosphane

Through SiP bond cleavage, the reaction of P₇(SiMe₃)₃ with one equivalent of KO^tBu or LiO^tBu afforded different isomers of the heptaphosphanide anion [P₇(SiMe₃)₂]⁻. With LiO^tBu, concomitant inversion at an equatorial (silylated) phosphorus atom occurred and the C_s symmetric isomer characterized by a mirror plane formed. With KO^tBu, inversion did not occur and the resulting asymmetric anion with C₁ symmetry formed. With NaO^tBu, a mixture of both isomers was obtained. The symmetries and structures of the anions were elucidated with ³¹P{¹H} and ²⁹Si{¹H} NMR spectroscopy, and relative stabilities were calculated employing the B3LYP/6-31+G* method.The reaction of KP₇(SiMe₃)₂ or LiP₇(SiMe₃)₂ with 1,2-dichlorotetramethyldisilane led to (SiMe₃)₂P₇SiMe₂SiMe₂P₇(SiMe₃)₂, a molecule composed of two P₇-cages connected by a disilane bridge. It can also be obtained through silyl exchange using P₇(SiMe₃)₃ and ClMe₂SiSiMe₂Cl. The compound was characterized with ³¹P and ²⁹Si-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Treatment of P₇(SiMe₃)₃ with HypCl (Hyp = hypersilyl = Si(SiMe₃)₃) in DME led to the quantitative formation of Hyp₂P₇SiMe₃. Single crystal X-ray diffraction as well as ³¹P and ²⁹Si-NMR spectroscopy proves the presence of a heteroleptically substituted heptaphosphane cage.Quantum chemical HF and B3LYP/6-31G* calculations of equilibrium structures for the two possible isomers of P₇(SiMe₃)₃ (sym and asym) reveal that asym is destabilized by about 30-40 kJ mol⁻¹, which explains why its formation could not be observed. The phosphorus inversion barrier for the sym → asym transition is calculated as 60-70 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Tris(trimethylsilyl)methanselenenylhalogenide und -chalkogenide

Tris(trimethylsilyl)methaneselenenyl Halides and Chalcogenides . Ditrisyldiselenide ( 1 ) (trisyl = TSi = (Me₃Si)₃C) reacts with SOCl₂, Br₂ and I₂ to provide trisylselenenyl halides TSiSeX ( 2 : X = Cl; 3 : X = Br, 4 : X = I). Insertion of S and Se into the Se? Se bond of 1 to yield (TSiSe)₂S_n ( 5 : n = 1; 6 : n = 2) and (TSiSe)₂Se_n ( 7 : n = 1; 8 : n = 2) was catalysed by iodine. 5 was isolated in pure state and examined by X-ray diffraction.

Über die Synthese von Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl-kalium, -rubidium und -caesium und die Molekülstrukturen zweier Toluolsolvate

About the Synthesis of Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl Potassium, Rubidium and Cesium and the Molecular Structures of two Toluene Solvates . Solventfree tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl potassium ( 1 ), rubidium ( 2 ) and cesium ( 3 ) are obtained by the reaction of the zink group bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl] derivatives with the appropriate alkali metal in n-pentane. Addition of benzene or toluene to the colourless powders yields deeply coloured solutions. From these solutions single crystals of tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl rubidium—toluene (2/1) ( 2 a ) and tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl cesium—toluene (2/3) ( 3 a ) suitable for X-ray structure analysis are iso- lated [ 2a : orthorhombic; P2₁2₁2₁; a = 1 382.1(3); b = 1 491.7(5); c = 2 106.3(6) pm; Z = 4 (dimers); 3a : orthorhombic; P2₁2₁2₁; a = 2 131.0(6); b = 2 833.1(2); c = 925.2(2) pm; Z = 4 (dimers)]. The central structure moieties are folded four-membered Rb₂Si₂ and Cs₂Si₂ rings, respectively. Small Si? Si? Si angles (100 to 104°) on the one hand and extreme highfield ²⁹Si-NMR shifts of the central silicon atoms on the other hand indicate a strong charge transfer from the alkali metal atoms to the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl fragments, i.e. mainly ionic interactions between alkalimetal and silicon atoms.

Complexation of tris(pentafluorophenyl)silanes with neutral Lewis bases

A detailed analysis of monodentate and bidentate complexation of tris(pentafluorophenyl)silyl (TPFS) derivatives with neutral Lewis bases was performed. The NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis (11 structures) were the key methods to characterize tetra- or pentacoordinate silicon compounds, whereas the peculiarities of crystal packing were analyzed by means of DFT calculations. The interaction of TPFS-X (X = F, Cl, OTf) with strong Lewis bases (HMPA, N-methylpyrrolidinone) may afford three different species: neutral pentacoordinate TPFS(X)-L, cationic tetracoordinate TPFS-L⁺ X⁻, and cationic pentacoordinate TPFS-(L)⁺₂X⁻, representatives of each type were characterized by X-ray diffraction. A variety of complexes with bidentate complexation, featuring the trigonal bipyramidal geometry with apical C₆F₅-group was prepared and structurally characterized. The extent of Si-C_apical bond elongation depends on the donating ability of the coordinating ligand, with the longest Si-C bond of 1.981(1) Å observed for six-membered complex of TPFS-ether of N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrolidine.     

Synthesis and characterization of new polymer systems containing very bulky tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl substituents as side chains

The 4-chloromethyl styrene (CMS) was copolymerized with different styrenic monomers such as methyl styrene, 4-methoxy styrene and α-methyl styrene by free radical polymerization method at 70 ± 1 °C using α,α^′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator and the copolymers I, II and III collected respectively. The very bulky tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl {trisyl} substituents were covalently attached to the obtained copolymers with replacement of all the chlorine atoms in CMS units. The polymers, obtained in quantitative yields, were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy; differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and GPC studies. All the polymers containing trisyl groups showed a high glass transition temperature (in the range 150-190 °C) in comparison with copolymers I-III (in the range 90-95 °C). The increase of the glass transition temperature reflects the substantial increase in rigidity of new polymers bearing very bulky substituents in side chains.     

Synthesis and desilylation of some bis(trimethylsilyl)alkenes and polymers bearing bis(silyl)alkenyl groups

The synthesis of various vinylbis(silanes) from some aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes and (Me₃Si)₃CLi in Et₂O is described. Friedel-Crafts reaction of 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-(2-naphthyl)ethene with various acyl chlorides (RCOCl, R = Me, Et, i-Pr, i-Bu, n-pent) gave the corresponding α-silyl-α,β-unsaturated enones with high E steroselectivity. Moreover, poly(styrene)-co-[2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethenyl(styrene)] obtained via the reaction of polymers bearing pendant enone functions and (Me₃Si)₃CLi, reacts with the same acyl chlorides in the presence of catalytic amount of AlCl₃ to give the new macromolecules bearing α-silyl-α,β-unsaturated enones and α,β-unsaturated enones.     

Electrochemical preparation of polythiophene via 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene

Electrochemical polymerization of 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl) thiophene produced highly conducting films which showed infrared spectra, visible-near infrared absorption spectra, and cyclic voltammograms identical to films prepared from thiophene. Elemental analysis indicated that almost all silicon atoms were eliminated during the electrochemical polymerization. However, scanning electron microscopy showed a morphological difference between the films from 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene and from thiophene. The electrochemical polymerization of bis(2-thienyl)dimethylsilane, 1,2-bis(2-thienyl)tetramethyldisilane, and bis(2-thienyl)diphenylsilane also produced polythiophene films having unique morphologies quite different from the conventional ones. These findings indicate that these electrochemical procedures must be useful for preparation of new conjugated polymers. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reaction of aryl azides with tris(trimethylsilyl)silyllithium: Synthesis of tmeda or thf adducts of [Li{N(Ar)Si(SiMe3)3}] and 1,4-trimethylsilyl migration from oxygen to nitrogen

Reaction of ArN₃ (Ar = Ph, p-MeC₆H₄, 1-naphthyl) with [Li{Si(SiMe₃)₃}(thf)₃] yielded lithium amides [Li{N(Ar)Si(SiMe₃)₃}L] (L = tmeda or (thf)₂). Similar treatment of o-phenylene diazide with 2 equiv. of [Li{Si(SiMe₃)₃}(thf)₃] formed dilithium diamide complex 4. Reaction between o-Me₃SiOC₆H₄N₃ and [Li{Si(SiMe₃)₃}(thf)₃] afforded, via 1,4-trimethylsilyl migration from oxygen to nitrogen, [Li{OC₆H₄{N(SiMe₃)Si(SiMe₃)₃}-2}]₂ (5). The structures of complexes 3 and 5 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.     

Silyl stabilized azanes: Reactions of mono- and dilithium bis(trimethylsilyl)hydrazide with dichloro- and tetrachlorostannane

SnCl₄ acts primarily as an oxidant and oxidizes monolithium bis(trimethylsilyl) hydrazide 1 to mainly bis(trimethylsilyl)amine, BSA and tris(trimethylsilyl)hydrazine, TrSH and itself get reduced to SnCl₂. Similarly, reaction of SnCl₄ with dilithiumbis(trimethylsilyl) hydrazide 2, oxidizes it to lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)hydrazide, Li-TrSH. Reaction of dichlorostannane (reduction of oxidation state of tin from +4 to +2) with 1 gives a simple substitution reaction and give a pale yellow solid, 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,2,4,5-tetraza-3,6-distannacyclohexane, 3b. Whereas, in reaction of 2 with SnCl₂ intermediate stannimine [(Me₃Si)₂N-NSn], tetramerizes and further loses tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)tetrazene, TST to give a cubane compound [(Me₃Si)N-Sn]₄, 4.     

AlCl3-Catalyzed transformations of organo(trichloromethyl) silanes

Reactions of organo(trichloromcthyl)silanes RMc₂SiCCl₃ (R = Me, Ph, Mc₃Si) with aluminum chloride have been studied. The interaction of trimetltyl(tricltlorometltyl)silane with AlCl₃ carried out in cyclohexane or in benzene leads to Me₃SiCHCI₂ (in 75 % yield) or ClMe₂SiCPh₂Me (in 70 % yield), respectively; whereas no conversions are observed inn-hexane and methylene chloride. Treatment of dimetltyl(phenyl)(ricltloromethyl)silane with aluminum chloride in a_n-C₅H₁₂/CH₂CI₂ mixture gives an aromatic cross-linked insoluble polymer. The reaction of pentamethyl(trichloromcthyl)disilane (R = Mc₃Si) with AICl₃ in pentane affords the rearrangement product, Me₃SiCCl₂SiMc₂Cl, in 65 % yield. In methylene chloride the further cleavage of the disilane occurs to yield Me₂SiCl₂ and CH₂=CHMe₂SiCl.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Base-freie Tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl-Derivate des Lithiums,Aluminiums, Galliums und Indiums

Base-free Tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl Derivatives of Lithium, Aluminium, Gallium, and Indium Base-free LiR* (R*=-C(SiMe₃)₃) has been prepared from R*Cl and Li-metal in toluene at 85?90°C and used to synthesize the metallanes R*MMe₂ with M = Al, Ga and In, respectively. The NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si) and the vibrational spectra of these trisyl compounds have been discussed. AlCl₃ and LiR*(ratio 1 : 1) forms the metallate metallate Li[R*AlCl₃]. The triclinic unit cell (space group P1 ) consists of a centrosymmetric assoziate, formed by four Li[R*AlCl₃]- units with Al? Cl…?Li bridges, two pairs of Li-atoms differing in their chlorine-coordination and two disordered toluene molecules, inserted in the crystal lattice (R₁wR₂ =0,0444/0,1072). The reaction of GaCl₃ with LiR* (I :1) gives the unusual sesquichloride (R*Ga(Cl_1,33)Me_0,67)₃ in moderate yield. The X-ray structure determination shows a Ga₃Cl₃-skeleton with chairconformation and disordered, terminal gallium ligands (R₁/wR₂= 0,0646/0,2270).     

Unidirectional helical assembly via triple hydrogen bonds between chiral tris(oxazoline) and achiral tris(imidazoline)

Tris(imidazolines) are assembled via triple hydrogen bonding interactions to give rise to a stacked polymeric structure. A mixture of chiral tris(oxazoline) and achiral tris(imidazoline) generates a helical assembly in which the helical direction of the assembly is unidirectionally induced by the chirality of tris(oxazoline).     

Silyl stabilized azanes: reactions of lithiumbis(trimethylsilyl)hydrazine with trialkyltin halides

Lithium 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)hydrazine (1a) reacts with Me₃SnCl, Et₃SnBr and Bu₃SnCl to form bis(trimethylsilyl)(trimethylstannyl)hydrazine (2a), (triethylstannyl)bis(trimethyl silyl)hydrazine (2b) and (tributylstannyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)hydrazine (2c), respectively. Compounds 2a and 2b undergo disproportionation at room temperature to form bis(trimethylsilyl)bis(trimethylstannyl)hydrazine (3a) and bis(triethylstannyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)hydrazine (3b). In contrast, 2c is highly stable and can withstand such a reaction up to 150 °C. The monostannylated products, 2a, 2b and 2c do not get lithiated at NH and instead undergo transmetallation in their reaction with RLi or Li to form lithiumbis(trimethylsilyl)hydrazine (1a).     

Study of the reaction of 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenylethylene with some acyl chlorides in the presence of AlCl3

1,1-Bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenylethylene (1), which has been synthesized from the Peterson reaction between (Me₃Si)₃CLi and benzaldehyde, reacts with various acyl chlorides (RCOCl, R = Me, Et, iso-Pr, n-Bu, iso-Bu, iso-C₅H₁₁, PhCH₂, PhCH₂CH₂) in the presence of AlCl₃ to give -silyl-,β-unsaturated enones 3a–3h with high E stereoselectivity along with trans-,β-unsaturated ketones 4a–4h. The enones 3 can be partially converted into the ketones 4 with an excess of AlCl₃. Reaction of 1 with RCOCl, (R = Ph, CH₃CH=CH) afforded only the ketones 4. Yields were dependent on time and the amounts of AlCl₃ used.     

Synthesis of bifunctional tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane derivatives

Bifunctional derivatives (XMe₂Si)₂Si(SiMe₃)₂ (X = H, Cl, or OH) were synthesized for the first time by the reaction of tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane with SbCl₅. The molecular and crystal structure of bis(hydroxydimethylsilyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)silane was established by X-ray diffraction. The fragmentation of the resulting compounds under electron impact was studied by mass spectrometry. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Bis(trimethylsilyl)diimine: Preparation,Structure, and Reactivity

The highly reactive compound bis(trimethylsilyl)diimine (BSD), which was first prepared by oxidation of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)hydrazide, is light blue, sensitive to thermolysis and hydrolysis, and ignites spontaneously in air. On the basis of electron transfer, acid-base, or free-radical reactions, it acts in particular as a (preparatively useful) redox system and as an agent for the introduction of azo groups. Redox reactions lead by oxidation or reduction of the other reactant through two oxidation stages to hydrazine derivatives or molecular nitrogen, and in the case of electrochemical reduction, to BSD radical-anions. Azo-group transfers, on the other hand, yield new inorganic azo compounds with no change in the oxidation state of the diimine group.
