I. Hemme et al., DILITHIUM DERIVATIVES OF BIS(TERT-BUTYLDIMETHYLSILYLAMINO)SILANES AS BUILDING UNITS FOR INORGANIC RING COMPOUNDS, Chemische Berichte, 128(4), 1995, pp. 351-355
The bis[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)amino]silanes 1-3 are converted into
their lithium derivatives 4-7 with BuLi. Depending on the bulkiness of
the substituents, the dilithium derivatives 4 and 5 crystallize in ci
s or trans conformation. Monolithiated 3 (6) forms a four-membered (Si
FLiN) ring system.
