Synthesis, spectroscopic and structural studies of spirocyclic pseudosilatranes
摘要:
Spirocyclic pseudosilatranes have been prepared from the condensation of (HOCH2CH2)2NMe with dihydrophenazasilines or by alcohol exchange with dialkoxyphenazasilines. The structures have been investigated in solution by H-1, C-13 and Si-29 NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction. The interatomic Si...N distance in the 1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctane ring in two 5-methyl-2,8-dioxa-5-aza-1-silacyclooctane-1-spiro-(2,8-dibromo-5-alkyl-10-silaphenzasiline) derivatives is 2.968 and 2.986 angstrom which indicates a weak nitrogen-silicon interaction such as might occur in an intermediate stage of nucleophilic substitution at tetrahedral silicon. The solution data support an equilibrium between a boat-boat conformation (closed form with presumed pentacoordinate Si) and the chair-chair conformation (open form, tetrahedral Si). The spirocyclic pseudosilatranes and related acyclic pseudosilatranes are compared.
