Bildung und Eigenschaften von Acylphosphanen. VI. Synthese von Alkyl- und Arylbis (trimethylsilyl)- sowie Alkyl und Aryltrimethylsilyphosphanen

Syntheses and properties of Acylphyosphanes. VI. Syntheses of Alkyl- or Arylbis (trimethylsilyl)- and Alkyl- or Aryltrimethylisilyphosphanes Methods for the preparation of alkyl-or arylbis (trimethylsily)-and alkyl-or aryltrimethylsilyphosphanes are described.

• 1 Primary phosphanes used for the syntheses of the title compounds were prepared by known methods (reduction with LiAlH₄).
• 2 Alkyl- and arylbis(trimethylsily) phosphanes are obtained from the corresponding dilithium phosphides (primary phosphanes and methyllithium) and trimethylchlorosilane or from lithiumbis (trimethylsilyl) phosphide and alkyl halides.
• 3 Suitable syntheses for alkyl-or aryltrimethylsilylphosphanes are the reactions of alkyl-and aryllithiumphosphides with trimethylchlorosilane or of alkyl- and arylbis (trimethylsily) phosphanes with methanole. The reaction between phenylbis (trimethylsilyl)phosphane and water was studied in detail and the formation of trimethylsilanole was proved by ¹H-n.m.r. spectroscopy.

The reactions of lithiumtrimethylsilyphosphides and 2,2-dimethylpropionyl chloride yield (2,2- dimethylpropionyl) trimethylsilylphosphanes (keto forms).
