M. Letulle et al., THE GENERATION OF 1,1-DIMETHYLSILANIMINE BY FLASH VACUUM THERMOLYSIS, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 484(1-2), 1994, pp. 89-91
1,1-dimethylsilanimine (Me(2)Si=NH) was generated from two different p
recursors, under flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) conditions, either by
retro-[2 + 2] or by retro-ene cleavage. This very reactive silanimine
was characterized by formation of its cyclo-dimer, analyzed by FVT/HRM
S, as well as by the production of its adduct with t-butanol. The gene
ration in these thermolyses of N-t-butyl-1,1-dimethylsilanimine and N-
dimethylsilyl-1,1-dimethylsilanimine was also demonstrated.
