Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität eines 2,4-Diphosphino-1,3-diphospha-2,4-disilacyclobutans

Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of a 1,3-Diphosphino-2,4-diphospha-1,3-disilacyclobutane Pentamethylcyclopentadienyltrichlorosilane reacts with Li[Al(PH₂)₄] to give the stable 1,3-diphosphino-2,4-diphospha-1,3-disilacyclobutane 4 . Treatment of 4 with Lithium alkyls affords the Lithium phosphide 5 via regiospecific metalation of a ring phosphorus atom, and reaction with t-Bu₂Hg proceeds via oxidative P? P bond formation to yield the 1,4-disila-2,3,5,6-tetraphospha-bicyclo[2,1,1]-hexane 6 . Cleavage of pentamethylcyclopentadiene is observed during thermolysis of 4 at 200°C. 4–6 were characterised by NMR-spectroscopy, and 4 by an additional crystal structure determination.
