Abstract
By metalation of the respective aminals with t-BuLi, two different double lithiated methylmethylenediamines, namely LiCH2N(CH3)CH2N(CH3)CH2Li and LiCH2N(C6H11 )CH2N(C6H11)CH2 Li, were obtained and isolated. The reaction of both compounds with difunctional chlorosilanes yield six-membered heterocycles including (CH3)2SiCH2N(CH3)CH2N(CH3)CH2 by nucleophilic amino methylation. A spiro heterocycle Si[CH2N(CH3)CH2N(CH3)CH2]2 can be synthesized in the same way by using two equivalents of lithiated tetramethylmethylenediamine and SiCI4. The compounds have been characterized by mass, 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.
