Über die Ammonolyse von Organometallen. XII. Die Ammonolyse von Dimethyl-diphenyl- und Dimethyl-dibenzyl-silan

Dimethyl-diphenyl and dimethyl-dibenzyl-silane react in liqu. NH₃ in the presence of KKH₂ giving rise to the formation of H₂N? Si(Me₂)? NH? Si(Me₃)? NHK (III); exclusively C₆H₅ and C₆H₅CH₂ are split off and substituted by NH₂. Reaction of the potassium compound III with the equivalent amount of NH₄Cl brings about a mixture of octamethylcyclotetrasilazane and hexamethylcyclotrisilazane.
