Reactions at Silicon‐Silicon Bonds, V. Selective Trichlorosilylation of Alkyl(diorganylamino)chlorophosphanes with Hexachlorodisilane or with Trichlorosilane/Triethylamine. ‐ Two Routes to New Functional Trichlorosilylphosphanes

Abstract

AbstractThe reaction of alkyl(diorganylamino)chlorophosphanes R(R2′N)PCl 1 (1a: R = tBu, R′ = Et, 1b: R = iPr, R′ = iPr; 1c: R = iPr, R′ = Ph) with hexachlorodisilane, afforded alkyl(diorganylamino)trichlorosilylphosphanes R(R2′N)PSiCl3 2 (2a: R = tBu, R′ = Et; 2b: R = iPr, R′ = iPr; 2c: R = iPr, R′ = Ph) and silicon tetrachloride. An intermediate formed in the reaction of 1b with hexachlorodisilane, the adduct iPr(iPr2N)(Cl)P‐Si(Cl)3‐SiCl3 (3b = 1b · Si2Cl6), was detected by 31P‐ and 29Si‐NMR spectra that indicate pentacoordinated silicon bound to tetracoordinated phosphorus and tetracoordinated silicon. Trichlorosilylphosphanes 2 are also available from 1 under very mild conditions by reductive trichlorosilylation with trichlorosilane in the presence of triethylamine. Compounds 2 were identified analytically, by mass spectroscopy, multinuclear NMR, and an X‐ray structure determination of 2c.
