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)CH2Li, were obtained and isolated. The reaction of both compounds with difunctional chlorosilanes yield six-membered heterocycles including [inlinemath presented] 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 SiCl4. The compounds have been characterized by mass,1H,13C, and29Si NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.
