Abstract
The reactions of two or three equivalents of lithium phosphinomethanides with di- or trifunctional chlorosilanes yield novel five- and six-membered heterocycles with silicon and phosphorus ring members by multistep rearrangements and/or transmetallation reactions. Silaethene intermediates are likely to be involved. Three different types of reactions are described. 1. (1) RSiCl3(a, R = Ph; b, R = Me; c, R = tBu) reacts with three equivalents of Li[C(PMe2)2(SiMe3)] to give five-membered heterocycles (R)[(Me3Si)C(PMe2)2]{A figure is presented}, 11, which are fluxional in solution. A PMe2 group shift and transmetallation reaction are involved in their formation. 2. (2) PhSiCl3 reacts with {Li[C(PMe2)(SiMe3)2]}2x TMEDA to give a five-membered heterocycle {A figure is presented}, via an intermediate mono- and disubstitution product. This reaction involves ligand rearrangement, elimination of Me2PCl, and an, Me3Si and Me group shift within a silaethene framework. 3. (3) Ph2SiCl2 reacts with two equivalents of Li[CH(PMe2)2] to give a six-membered heterocycle [Ph2Si-C(PMe2)=PMe2-]2, 18, by transmetallation and LiCI elimination, possibly via a silaethene intermediate. X-ray analyses of lla, 17 and 18 confirm the proposed molecular structures based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
