Bis(trimethylsilyl) hydrazine reacts with n-BuLi in tetrahydrofuran to
give a dimeric lithium derivative consisting of a N-lithium-N',N'-bis
(trimethylsilyl)hydrazide and a N,N'-dilithium-N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl
)hydrazide unit. Tris(silyl)hydrazines and 1,2-diaza-3,5-disilacyclope
ntanes are obtained in reactions of lithiated bis(silyl)hydrazines wit
h halogensilanes. Reaction mechanisms and crystal structures are discu
ssed.
