P. Bottcher et al., SYNTHESIS OF THE DIAZADISILATITANACYCLOPENTANE RSI(NH2)NHTIME(CP-ASTERISK)NHSI(NH2)R (R = PHNSIME3, CP-ASTERISK = ETA(5)-C5ME5), Chemische Berichte, 130(12), 1997, pp. 1787-1790
Reaction of two equivalents of N-trimethylsilylaniline (1) with two eq
uivalents of n-butyllithium, followed by subsequent treatment with Si2
Cl6 (2) leads to the formation of the tetrachlorodisilane RSiCl2SiCl2R
(3) (R = PhNSiMe3). 3 is converted to RSi(NH2)(2)Si(NH2)(2)R (4) by r
eaction with liquid ammonia. 4 reacts with cpTiMe3 (5) (cp* = eta(5)-
C5Me5) to yield the diazadisilatitanacyclopentane RSi(NH2)NHTiMe(cp)-
NHSi(NH2)R (6). The crystal structure of 6 is reported.
