The reaction of trimethylchlorosilane with phenyltelluromagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran: Characterisation of the products by 29Si and 125Te NMR spectroscopy

The products of the reaction of Me₃SiCl with PhTeMgBr in THF have been identified with the aid of high resolution ²⁹Si and ¹²⁹Te NMR spectroscopy. In addition to the expected product Me₂SiTePh (40%), the symmetrical telluride (Me₃Si)₂Te (10%) and the ether Me₃SiO(CH₂)₄TePh (45%) are also formed. The latter results from ring-opening of the solvent THF by Me₃SiCl followed by reaction of the product with PhTeMgBr.     

Generation and capture of alkylchlorosilanones

Alkyltrichlorosilanes react with DMSO (molar ratio 1 : 1 0 °C) to give cyclic oligoalkylchlorosiloxanes of the general formula [R(Cl)SiO] _n (where R=Me or Et;n=3–6). With an excess of alkyltrichlorosilane (2: 1), linear oligoalkylchlorosiloxanes Cl[R(Cl)SiO] _m SiCl₂R (where R=Me or Et;m=1–5) are also formed. In the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane (molar ratio Cl₃SiR : DMSO: (Me₃Si)₂O=1:1:2, 20 °C), the reaction products are both cyclic and linear oligoalkyl(trimethylsilyloxy)siloxanes [R(Me₃SiO)SiO] _n (n=3–5) and Me₃Si[OSi(OSiMe₃)R] _m OSiMe₃ (m=1–3), respectively. The reaction of DMSO with trichloro(vinyl)silane and hexamethyldisiloxane occurs in a similar manner. A plausible scheme of formation of the final products via intermediate alkylchlorosilanones RClSi=O and alkyl(trimethylsilyloxy)silanones is discussed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Stoichiometric Reactions of CO2 and Indium‐Silylamides and Catalytic Synthesis of Ureas

The indium compounds In(N(SiMe₃)₂)₂Cl⋅THF ( 2 ) and In(N(SiMe₃)₂)Cl₂⋅(THF)_n ( 3 ) were shown to react with CO₂ to give [(Me₃Si)₂N)InX(μ‐OSiMe₃)]₂ (X=N(SiMe₃)₂ 4 , Cl 5 ). 0.05–2.0 mol % of the species 3 acts as a pre‐catalyst for the conversion of aryl and alkyl silylamines under CO₂ (2–3 atm) to give the corresponding ureas in 70–99 % yields. A proposed mechanism is supported by experimental and computational data.     

Reactions of trimethylsiloxychlorosilanes with lithium metal - On the mechanism of the formation of trimethylsiloxysilyllithium compounds LiSiRR’(OSiMe3)

The reaction pathway for the formation of the trimethylsiloxysilyllithium compounds (Me₃SiO)RR′SiLi (2a: R = Et, 2b: R = ⁱPr, 2c: R = 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂ (Mes); 2a-c: R′ = Ph; 2d: R = R′ = Mes) starting from the conversion of the corresponding trimethylsiloxychlorosilanes (Me₃SiO)RR′SiCl (1a-d) in the presence of excess lithium in a mixture of THF/diethyl ether/n-pentane at −110 °C was investigated.The trimethylsiloxychlorosilanes (Me₃SiO)RPhSiCl (1a: R = Et, 1b: R = ⁱPr, 1c: R = Mes) react with lithium to give initially the trimethylsiloxysilyllithium compounds (Me₃SiO)RPhSiLi (2a-c). These siloxysilyllithiums 2 couple partially with more trimethylsiloxychlorosilanes 1 to produce the siloxydisilanes (Me₃SiO)RPhSi-SiPhR(OSiMe₃) (Ia-c), and they undergo bimolecular self-condensation affording the trimethylsiloxydisilanyllithium compounds (Me₃SiO)RPhSi-RPhSiLi (3a-c). The siloxydisilanes I are cleaved by excess of lithium to give the trimethylsiloxysilyllithiums (Me₃SiO)RPhSiLi (2). In the case of the two trimethylsiloxydisilanyllithiums (Me₃SiO)RPhSi-RPhSiLi (3a: R = Et, 3b: R = ⁱPr) a reaction with more trimethylsiloxychlorosilanes (Me₃SiO)RPhSiCl (1a, 1b) takes place under formation of siloxytrisilanes (Me₃SiO)RPhSi-RPhSi-SiPhR(OSiMe₃) (IIa: R = Et, IIb: R = ⁱPr) which are cleaved by lithium to yield the trimethylsiloxysilyllithiums (Me₃SiO)RPhSiLi (2a, 2b) and the trimethylsiloxydisilanyllithiums (Me₃SiO)RPhSi-RPhSiLi (3a, 3b). The dimesityl-trimethylsiloxy-silyllithium (Me₃SiO)Mes₂SiLi (2d) was obtained directly by reaction of the trimethylsiloxychlorosilane (Me₃SiO)Mes₂SiCl (1d) and lithium without formation of the siloxydisilane intermediate. Both silyllithium compounds 2 and 3 were trapped with HMe₂SiCl giving the products (Me₃SiO)RR′Si-SiMe₂H and (Me₃SiO)RPhSi-RPhSi-SiMe₂H.     

Schrittweise Darstellung von verzweigten tripodalen Chlor‐Methyl‐Siloxanen der allgemeinen Formel tBuSi[{OSiMe2}yOSiMe3–xClx]3 [x = 0–3; y = 0–2] sowie Synthese der Silanole tBuSi[(OSiMe2)xOH]3 [x = 1, 2] und des bicyclischen Siloxans tBuSi(OSiMe2O)3SitBu

The branched tripodal chloro‐methyl‐siloxanes of the general formula tBuSi[{OSiMe₂}_yOSiMe_3–xCl_x]₃ [x = 0–3; y = 0–2] were synthesized, starting with tert‐Butyl‐trisilanol ( 1 ). The treatment of 1 with the chloro‐methyl‐silanes (Me_3–xSiCl_x+1) (x = 0–3) in the presence of triethylamine leads to the compounds tBuSi(OSiMe₂Cl)₃ ( 2 ), tBuSi(OSiMeCl₂)₃ ( 3 ) and tBuSi(OSiCl₃)₃ ( 4 ). The siloxanes 2 – 4 are colourless oily liquids, which can be purified by distillation. Their yields decrease with the number of chloro substituents. In the reaction of compound 2 with three equivalents of water the silantriol tBuSi(OSiMe₂OH)₃ ( 5 ) is generated which is used to create the branched tripodal chloro‐methyl‐siloxanes tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiMe₃)₃ ( 6 ), tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiMe₂Cl)₃ ( 7 ), tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiMeCl₂)₃ ( 9 ) and tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiCl₃)₃ ( 10 ). Compound ( 7 ) is only a side product with a yield of 25 %., The cyclic tBuSi[{(OSiMe₂)₂Cl}(OSiMe₂)₃O] ( 8 ) can be isolated and characterised. The transformation of the compound tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiMe₂Cl)₃ ( 7 ) into the trisilanol tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiMe₂OH)₃ ( 11 ) allows to prepare the tripodale siloxane tBuSi(OSiMe₂OSiMe₂OSiMe₃)₃ ( 12 ) in good yields., The reaction of tBuSi(OSiMe₂Cl)₃ ( 2 ) with tert‐butyl trisilanol 1 leads to the formation of bicyclic tBuSi(OSiMe₂O)₃SitBu ( 13 ). An X‐ray structure determination on 13 reveals a [3.3.3]‐bicycle with a C₃ axis, which crystallizes in the cubic crystal system in the space group Pa . The reported compounds 2 – 13 were characterised by NMR‐ and IR spectroscopy ( 5 , 11 ) and show correct elemental analyses. The ²⁹Si‐NMR‐data of the compounds show interesting trends with respect to the Si–O chain length and the chloro substistuents.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Untersuchungen von hoch-verzweigten funktionellen Siloxanen

Preparation and Spectroscopic Investigations of Highly Branched Functional Siloxanes The preparation of the siloxanes [(Me₃SiO)₃SiO]_n(Me₃SiO)_3?nSiX and (Me₃SiO)₃Si[OSi(OSiMe₃)₂]₂X (n = 1?3, X = H, Cl, OC₂H₅, OH) is described. The hydride-siloxanes and the siloxanoles have been investigated by i.r. and ²⁹Si-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The frequencies of the Si? H stretching vibration, the ²⁹Si? ¹H coupling constants and the ²⁹Si-chemical shifts of the Si(H) signal for the hydride-siloxanes as well as the frequencies of the (Si)O? H stretching vibration, the relative (Si)O? H acidity, and the ²⁹Si-chemical shifts of the Si(OH) signal for the siloxanoles show a dependence on the number of the (Me₃SiO)₃SiO groups. The spectroscopic data are discussed with respect to the silicate environment of the Si(H) and Si(OH) atom, respectively. In the siloxanoles intramolecular hydrogen bondings were observed.     

Use of Neodymium Diiodide in the Synthesis of Organosilicon, ‐Germanium and ‐Tin Compounds

The reactivity of neodymium diiodide, NdI₂ ( 1 ), towards organosilicon, ‐germanium and ‐tin halides has been investigated. Compound 1 readily reacts with Me₃SiCl in DME to give trimethylsilane (6 %), hexamethyldisilane (4 %) and (Me₃Si)₂O (19 %). The reaction with Et₃SiBr in THF results in formation of Et₃SiSiEt₃ (17 %) and Et₃SiOBuⁿ (34 %). Alkylation of Me₃SiCl with PrⁿCl in the presence of 1 in THF affords Me₃SiPrⁿ (10 %), Me₃SiOBuⁿ (52 %) and Me₃SiSiMe₃ (1 %). The main product identified in the reaction mixture formed upon interaction of 1 with dichlorodimethylsilane Me₂SiCl₂ in THF is di‐n‐butoxydimethylsilane Me₂Si(OBuⁿ)₂ (54 %) together with minor amounts of Me₂Si(OBuⁿ)Cl. The reaction of 1 with Me₃GeBr under the same conditions produces Me₃GeGeMe₃ (44 %), Me₃GeH (3 %), and Me₃GeI (7 %). An analogous set of products was obtained in the reaction with Et₃GeBr. Treatment of trimethyltin chloride with 1 causes reduction of the former to tin metal (74 %). Me₃SnH (7 %) and hexamethyldistannane (11 %) were identified in the volatile products. The reaction of 1 with Me₃SiI provides straightforward access to hepta‐coordinated NdI₃(THF)₄ ( 2 ), the structure of which was determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

The structural transformations of silicon phthalocyanine in reaction with magnesium and trimethylchlorosilane

The reaction of PcSi(OSiMe₃)₂ with Mg in the presence of Me₃SiCl at 20–100°C was shown to cause the phthalocyamine macrocycle contraction and give the silicon α,β,γ-triazatetrabenzocorrole macrocycle. The reaction proceeds in the polar donor solvents (THF, pyridine), but does not occur in aromatic hydrocarbons. The electronic and EPR spectra indicate that the silicon phthalocyanine mono- and dianions are active intermediate reaction products.     

Phosphorsäurebis(trimethylsilyl)ester des 1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluor-2,3-bis(trifluormethyl)-2,3-butandiols und des 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluor-2-propenols

Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphates of 1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluoro-2,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,3-butanediol and 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoro-2-propenol The monocyclic phosphorane (EtO)₃P[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O] 1 was hydrolized to give a mixture of an acyclic and a cyclic phosphate, 3 and 4 . The trihydroxyphosphorane 2 could not be obtained. Iodotrimethylsilane 6 converts 1 into the silylated derivative of 4 which was found also besides (Me₃SiO)₂P(O)OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂OSiMe₃ 8 in the reaction of 3 and 4 with Me₃SiCl/(Me₃Si)₂NH. (Me₃SiO)₃P 10 and hexafluoroacetone did not yield the tris(trimethylsiloxy)phosphorane 5 , but the phosphonate 11 which gave (Me₃SiO)₂P(O)OC(CF₃) ? CF₂ 12 upon heating with the loss of fluorotrimethylsilane.     

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.

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.

The mass spectra of some linear and branched methyl(vinyl)siloxanes Me₃SiOSi(Me)(R)(OSiMeVin) _n Y (R=Vin, OSiMe₃; Y=OSiMe₃, Cl;n=0–2) were studied. The regularities of their fragmentation and an anomalously high probability of elimination of the ethylene molecule to form the stable 1,3-dioxa-2,4,6-trisilacyclohexane skeleton were revealed.

Preparation and Synthetic Utility of 1-Trimethylsiloxyalkyl-bis(trimethylsilyl)silanes, (Me3Si)2SiH–C(OSiMe3)R1R2

1-Trimethylsiloxyalkyl-bis(trimethylsilyl)silanes ( 5 ), obtained by a base induced isomerization of easily accessable 1-hydroxyalkyl-tris(trimethylsilyl)silanes ( 1 ) were hydrolized to give 1-hydroxyalkyl-bis(trimethylsilyl)silanes ( 6 ), which in presence of sodium hydride underwent a further 1,3-Si,O-trimethylsilyl migration resulting in the formation of 1-trimethylsiloxyalkyl-disilanes Me₃SiSiH₂–C(OSiMe₃)R¹R² ( 7 ). Under acidic conditions, the alkoxysilanes 5 isomerized in a Me₃Si/OSiMe₃ exchange under formation of the 1-trimethylsilylalkyldisiloxanes 10 , which were hydrolyzed affording the silanols 11 . Chlorination of the H-silanes 5 with CCl₄ gave the chlorosilanes 12 , which underwent rapid thermal isomerizations to give via the 1-chloroalkyldisiloxanes 13 the 1-trimethylsilylalkyl-chlorodisiloxanes 15 . Hydrolysis of 12 or 15 , resp., finally afforded the 1-trimethylsilylalkyl-silanediols 18 . Possible mechanisms of the various isomerization processes are discussed. The structures of the products described were elucidated by full spectral analyses. For 18 a the results of an X-ray structural analysis are given.     

Kristallstruktur des Lithium‐Trimethylsilanolats [Li7(OSiMe3)7(THF)]

The lithium silanolate LiOSiMe₃ is accessible from the reaction of Me₃SiOSiMe₃ with LiMe in tetrahydrofuran. Single crystals of [Li₇(OSiMe₃)₇(THF)] were obtained from toluene at 25 °C. The structure of [Li₇(OSiMe₃)₇(THF)] (C2/c) features a capped trigonal antiprismatic arrangement of seven Li atoms. The Li atoms in [Li₇(OSiMe₃)₇(THF)] are μ₃‐bridged by seven O atoms of the silanolate ligand.     

Some highly sterically hindered organo-silanols and -siloxanes

Reaction of the iodides TsiSiMe₂I and TsiSiPh₂I, (Tsi  (Me₃Si)₃C) with AgClO₄ in t-BuOH provides a route to the silanols TsiSiMe₂OH and (Me₃Si)₂-C(SiPh₂Me)(SiMe₂OH), respectively. TsiSiMe₂OH gives the disiloxane TsiSiMe₂OSiMe₃ when treated with either (a) Me₃SiOClO₃ (prepared in situ from AgClO₄ and Me₃SiCl) in benzene, (b) Me₃SiI (in the presence of a little (Me₃Si)₂-NH), (c) O,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide, or (d) MeLi followed by Me₃SiCl. It does not react with Me₃SiCl, but with Me₂SiCl₂ gives TsiSiMe₂OSiMe₂Cl, and with CH₃COCl gives TsiSiMe₂OCOCH₃. The disiloxane is stable to methanolic acid or base, but reacts with KOH in H₂O/Me₂SO and with CF₃COOH to give TsiSiMe₂OH. The disiloxane (Me₃Si)₂C(SiPh₂Me)(SiMe₂OSiMe₃) is formed by treatment of (Me₃Si)₂C(SiPh₂Me)(SiMe₂OH) with Me₃SiI/(Me₃Si)₂NH. Treatment of TsiSiPhMeI with AgClO₄ in t-BuOH gives the silanols TsiSiPhMeOH and (Me₃Si)₂C(SiPhMe₂)(SiMe₂OH) (which with Me₃SiI/(Me₃Si)₂NH give the corresponding disiloxanes) along with some of the t-butoxide (Me₃Si)₂C(SiPhMe₂)(SiMe₂OBu^t).

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.

Reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfate with hydrogen halides and with phosphorus and sulfur halides and oxyhalides

Conclusions The reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfate (BTS) with HBr leads to trimethylbromosilane, hexamethyldisiloxane, and free bromine. Its reaction products with HI are hexamethyldisiloxane and free iodine. The reaction of BTS with PCl₃ leads to the formation of Me₃SiCl, SO₂, and a polymeric product whose composition approximates [(CH₃)₃SiO]₈Cl₂O₂₇P₈S₄. The reaction of SOCl₂ with BTS gives in high yield Me₃SiOSO₂Cl, Me₃SiCl, and SO₂.

Über siliciumschwefel-verbindungen : III. Neue organylthiosilane

Novel organylthio(alkoxy)silanes (I, II, III and XII) and organylthio(diethylamino)silanes (IV, V) are described. They were prepared by treating lithium or lead thiolates with the corresponding chlorosilanes or by cleavage of dimethylbis(diethylamino)silane with thiols. Phenylthiosilanes (Me₃SiSPh, III and XIII) furthermore can be obtained by reaction of chlorosilanes with benzenethiol in the presence of tertiary amines. The SiS bond of Me₃SiSPh is cleaved by chlorosilanes like Me₂Si(NEt₂)Cl or Me₂Si(OPr)Cl. This reaction is a convenient route to prepare compounds I and IV. The physical and chemical properties of the novel compounds were investigated.
