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.

The reaction between equimolar amounts of dmap?Al(Me₂)P(SiMe₃)₂ and dmap?Ga(t‐Bu₂)Cl yield dmap?Ga(t‐Bu₂)P(SiMe₃)₂ ( 6 ) and dmap?AlMe₂Cl ( 3 ). 2 – 8 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, 2 and 6 also by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Insertions of nitriles and pyridine into the ZrSi bond of (η5-C5H5)(η5-C5Me5)Zr[Si(SiMe3)3]Me

The zirconium silyl complex CpCpZr[Si(SiMe₃)₃]Me (1; Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅; Cp = η⁵-C₅Me₅) reacts with nitriles RCN (R = Me, CHCH₂, Ph) to form the azomethine derivatives CpCpZr[NC(R)Si(SiMe₃)₃]Me (2, R = Me; 3, R = CHCH₂; 4, R = Ph). Pyridine reacts with 1 to give a 75% yield of CpCpZr[NC₅H₅Si(SiMe₃)₃]Me (5), which results from 1,2-addition of the ZrSi bond of 1 to pyridine. These reactions provide the first examples of nitrile and pyridine insertions into a transition metal-silicon bond. The related silyl complexes Cp₂Zr[Si(SiMe₃)₃]Me and CpCpZr[Si(SiMe₃)₃]Cl are much less reactive toward nitriles and pyridine.

Me, Et, t-Bu) The reaction of Me₂SiCl₂ with Li-phosphides (mixture of LiPH₂, Li₂PH) leads to the formation of Me₂Si(PH₂)Cl 1 , Me₂Si(PH₂)₂ 2 , H₂P? SiMe₂? PH? SiMe₂Cl 3 , (H₂P? SiMe₂)₂PH 4 , (HP? SiMe₂)₃ 6 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 40 . Excess of phosphides in Et₂O – as well as excess of LiPH₂ – favourably forms 10 . Li₂PH (virtually free of Li₃P and LiPH₂) is obtained by reaction of LiPH₂ · DME with LiBu; Li₃P by reaction of PH₃ with LiBu in toluene. Isomerization by Li/H migration determines the course of reaction of the PH-bearing compounds with Li-phosphides. With Me₂SiCl₂ Li₃P mainly generates compound 10 .

SiEt₂Cl 14 , (H₂P? SiEt₂)₂PH 15 and 16 . In the reaction with LiPH₂ · DME the same compounds are obtained and isomerization by Li/H migration (formation of PH₃) already begins at ?70°C. In toluene ClEt₂Si? P(SiEt₂)₂P? SiEt₂Cl is additionally formed. Derivatives of 9, 10, 40 are not observed.

The reduction of Cp₂MCl₂ (M = Ti, Zr) with magnesium in THF in the presence of PMe₃ affords the complexes Cp₂M(PMe₃)₂ in high yields. These compounds lose one or both PMe₃ ligands under very mild conditions. Cp₂Ti(PMe₃)₂ reacts readily with CH₃I, CH₃C(O)Cl, PhSSPh, Me₂PCH₂CH₂PMe₂, CO, RCN (R = Me, t-Bu) or (RN)₂S (R = t-Bu, Me₃Si) to give the corresponding titanocene products. The structure of Cp₂Zr(PMe₃)₂ has been determined by X-ray diffraction; the structural parameters are similar to those of the titanium analog Cp₂Ti(PMe₃)₂ except that the Zr-P and Zr-C distances are longer.

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 105. Reaktionen des (Cl3Si)2CPMe2Cl mit Silylphosphanen

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 105. Reactions of (Cl₃Si)₂C?PMe₂Cl with Silylphosphanes The reaction of (Cl₃Si)₂C?PMe₂Cl 1 with MeP(SiMe₃)₂ proceeds at 130°C (15 hrs.), by cleavage of all Si? P bonds to compounds 2, 3, 4, 5 . The course of this reaction incorporates a number of stages of which the compounds (Cl₃Si)₂C? PMe₂? P(Me)SiMe₃, (Cl₃Si)₂C?PMe₂? PMe? P(Me)SiMe₃ and ClP(Me)SiMe₃ are important and are yet to be isolated. The reaction of (Cl₃Si)₂C?PMe₂Cl with LiP(SiMe₂)₂ produces compound 2 as well as p₂(SiMe₃)₄ and P(SiMe₃)₃. The formation of 2 can be explained by the initial formation of the intermediate (Cl₃Si)₂C?PMe₂? P(SiMe₂)₂ with reacts with 1 to produce 2 and (ClP(SiMe)₃)₂. The formation of P₂(SiMe₃)₄ is also explained by the reaction of ClP(SiMe₃)₂ with LiP(SiMe₃)₄. The reaction of (Cl₃Si)₂C?PMe₂C(H)PMe₂ at 130°C/15–20 hrs. is related to the formation of (Me₃Si)₂C(H)Pme₂ from corresponding Si-methylated phosphorylides with the exception that, at 0°C, this reaction goes to completion within a few minutes.

Formation and Structure of iso-Tetraphosphane P[P(SiMe₃)Me]₃ The reaction of MeP(SiMe₃)₂ with PCl₃ (molar ratio 3:1, ?78°C, n-pentane) yields by cleaving of the P? Si bond P[P(SiMe₃)Me]₃ 1 with Cl₂P?

Zwei Wege zu Si-funktionellen Cyclosilazanen – Kristallstruktur des 1,3,6,8,10,12-Hexa-aza-2,4,5,7,9,11-hexasila-dispiro[4.1.4.1]dodecan

Two Ways to Si-functional Cyclosilanes — Crystal Structure of 1,3,6,8,10,12-Hexa-aza-2,4,5,7,9,11-hexasila-dispiro [4.1.4.1]dodecan Aminochlorosilanes [RSiCl₂NHCMe₃, R ? Cl ( 1 ), H ( 2 )] are obtained in the reaction of the chlorosilanes with LiNHCMe₃. HSiCl₂N(iso-Bu)SiMe₃ ( 3 ) is formed in the reaction of HSiCl₃ and LiN(iso-Bu)SiMe₃. HSiCl₃ reacts with LiN(CMe₃)SiMe₃ under LiCl and Me₃SiCl elimination to give the cyclodisilazane [(HSiCl? NCMe₃)₂ ( 4 )]. In addition to C₆H₅SiCl₂N(CMe₃)SiMe₃ ( 5 ), the main product of the reaction of trichloro-phenylsilane with LiN(CMe₃)SiMe₃ is C₆H₅SiCl₂NHCMe₃ ( 6 ). 3 loses Me₃SiCl thermally, giving the cyclotrisilazane [(HSiCl? N? iso-Bu)₃ ( 7 )]. 5 loses iso-butane thermally with formation of C₆H₅? SiCl₂? NH? SiMe₃ ( 8 ). 1 , 2 and 6 react with LiC₄H₉ under butane and LiCl elimination to give the cyclodisilazes [(RSiCl? NCMe₃)₂, R ? H ( 4 ), Cl ( 9 ), C₆H₅ ( 10 )]. 4 is fluorinated to (HSiF? NCMe₃)₂ ( 11 ) by NaF. The alcoholysis of 4 leads to the formation of [(H(RO)Si? NCMe₃)₂, R ? Me ( 12 ), C₆H₅ ( 13 )], the aminolysis to [(H(NR₂)Si? NCMe₃)₂, R ? Me ( 14 ), C₂H₅ ( 15 )], only one chloro atom of 4 is substituted in the reaction with H₂NCMe₃ ( 16 ). 4 reacts with lithium to give the 1,3,6,8,10,12-hexa-aza-2,4,5,7,9,11-hexasila-dispiro[4.1.4.1]dodecan ( 17 ), for which the crystal structure is reported.

1,2-Diphospha-3,4-diboretanes and 1,3-Diphospha-2,4,5-triborolane: Synthesis and Structure as well as Calculations on the Molecular Structure On the Effect of Substituents on the Structure of 1,2-Diphospha-3,4-diboretane [2 + 2]-Cyclocondensation reactions led to the synthesis of the 1,2-diphospha-3,4-diboretanes [(t-BuP)₂B₂(NMe₂)₂], 1 a , and [(t-BuP)₂B(NMe₂)B(NiPr₂)], 1 b . Their molecular structures have been determined by X-ray methods, and these are compared with the structure of [(t-Bu)P? BN(iPr₂)]₂, 2 a . Compounds 1 show a folded B₂P₂ four membered ring having tert.-butyl groups in anti-positions. Ab initio calculations on 1,2-diphospha-3,4-diboretanes demonstrate that two conformers with anti-orientation of the substituents at the phosphorus atoms can be expected. These differ by the relative orientation of the almost planar P₂BR groups to the BP₂ plane. The influence of substituents (H and NH₂ at the B atoms, and H and Me at the P atoms) on the ring conformation has been studied. Finally, the first derivative of a 1,3-diphospha-2,4,5-triborolane, 3 a , is reported.

Synthesis and structural characterization of functionalized dimeric aluminophosphonates and a monomeric gallophosphonate anion

Reaction of t-BuP(O)(OSiMe(3))(OH) with Me(3)Al leads to the formation of [Me(2)Al(mu-O)(2)P(OSiMe(3))(t-Bu)](2) (1) whereas Me(2)AlCl reacts with Ph(2)P(O)(OH) to yield [(Cl)(Me)Al(mu-O)(2)PPh(2)](2) (2). These compounds represent the first examples of functionalized dimeric four-ring type aluminophosphonate systems. The double four-ring type gallophosphonate, namely, [t-BuPO(3)GaMe](4), reacts with n-Bu(4)NHF(2) under ambient conditions, resulting in the formation of a monomeric gallophosphonate [n-Bu(4)N][MeGa[t-BuPO(2)(OH)](3)] (3). These derivatives have been adequately characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction studies.     

Über Fluoride des zweiwertigen Eisens: Cs7Fe4F15

Concerning the Cleavage of Si? C Bonds in Si-methylated Carbosilanes The chances for the cleavage of Si? Me bonds (Me ? CH₃) and Si? C? Si bonds in their molecular skeletons using ICl or ICl/AlBr₃ are examined in 13 carbosilanes; i. e. (Me₂Si? CH₂)₃ 1 , 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetrasilaadamantane 2 , (Me₃Si? CH₂)₂SiMe₂ 3 , HC(SiMe₃)₃ 4 , the 1,3,5,7-tetrasilaadamantane. carrying bhe ? CH₂? SiMe, group at one Si atom 5 , the 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane, carrying the ? CH₂? SiNe₃ group 6 , three derivatives of the 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane, carrying SiMe₃ groups at skeletal C atoms 7 , 8 , 9 , three derivatives of the 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane, carrying CH₃, groups at skeletal C atoms 10 10, 11 , 12 and 13 , derived from (Me₂Si? CH₂)₃ having one ?CBr₂ group. Using ICl one Me group at each Si atom in 1 can be split off successively, finally yielding (ClMeSi? CH₂)₃. 2 is transformed to the Si-chlorinated 1,3,5,7-tetrasilaadamantane. 3 , treated with ICl yields (ClMeSi? CH₂)₂SiMeCl, as 4 forms HC(SiMe₂Cl)₃. Higher chlorinated compounds can be obtained by using ICl and AlBr₃ in catalytic amounts. Thus 1 leads to (Cl₂Si? CH₂)₃, no ring-opening is observed. However, in the reaction of 1 with HBr/AlBr₃ bromination at the Si atoms and ring-opening (ratio 1:1) proceed coincidently. The reaction of either 3 or (ClMe₂Si? CH₂)₂SiMeCl with ICl/AlBr₃ leads to (Cl₂MeSi? CH₂)₂SiCl₂, and (Me₃Si)₂CH₃ forms (Cl₂MeSi? )₂CH₂ similarly. The ? CH₂? SiMe₃ group in 5 and 6 is not cleaved off by ICl; the introduction of a Cl group at each Si atom is observed instead. Furthermore, 6 undergoes cleavage (≈8%) of the Si? C ring adjacent to the chain-substituted Si atom [formation of ClMe₂Si? (CH₂? SiMeCl)₂CH₂? SiMe₂? CH₂Cl]. 7 , 8 , 9 (having the ? SiMe₃ group at the C atoms) react with ICl by splitting off one Si? Me group from each Si atom. In 7 we also observe the ring-opening to an amount of ≈25% [formation of (ClMe₂Si)CH₂? SiMeCl? CH₂? SiMe₂? CH₂Cl]. In ₈ (having two CH(SiMe₃) groups the ring-opening reaction is reduced to about 5% [formation of ClMe₂? CH(SiMe₂Cl)? SiMeCl? CH(SiMe₂Cl)? SiMe₂? CH₂Cl], while in 9 (having three CH(SiMe₃) groups) it is not found at all. In 10 , 11 , 12 (having the CH₃ group at the C atoms) ICl substitutes one Me group (formation of SiCl) at each Si atom (no ring-opening). The CBr₂ group reduces the reactivity of 13 towards ICl. Only the split-off of one Me group at the Si atom in para-position to the CBr₂ group is observed. Using ICl/AlBr₃ higher chlorinated derivatives are obtained (no ring-opening). Most of the mentioned compounds were identified via their Si? H-containing derivatives, thus facilitating the chromatographic separation as well as the ¹H-NMR-spectroscopic investigations.
