Hydroboration of Disilyne RSi≡SiR (R = SiiPr[CH(SiMe3)2]2), Giving Boryl-Substituted Disilenes
摘要:
The reaction of 1,1,4,4-tetralds[bis-(trimethylsilyl)methyl]-1,4-diisopropyltetrasila-2-yne (1) with hydroboranes afforded boryl-substituted disilenes R(R'B-2)Si=SiHR 3a and 3b (R = (SiPr)-Pr-i[CH(SiMe3)(2)](2), R'B-2 = 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-yl (3a), catecholboryl (3b)). Spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses of 3a and 3b showed that 3a has a nearly coplanar arrangement of the Si=Si double bond and the boryl group, allowing pi-conjugation between them, whereas 3b, with a markedly twisted arrangement, exhibits no such conjugation. Theoretical calculations suggest that pi-conjugation between the pi-orbital of the Si=Si double bond and the vacant 2p-orbital on the boron atom is markedly influenced by the dihedral angle between the Si=Si double-bond plane and boryl group plane.
Addition of Amines and Hydroborane to the Disilyne RSi≡SiR (R = SiiPr[CH(SiMe3)2]2) Giving Amino- and Boryl-Substituted Disilenes
摘要:
The reaction of 1,1,4,4-tetrakis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]-1,4-diisopropyltetrasila-2-yne 1 with diethylamine or diphenylamine produced the corresponding amino-substituted disilenes R(R'N-2)Si=SiHR 2a, b (R = (SiPr)-Pr-i[CH(SiMe3)(2)](2), R' = Et (2a), Ph (2b)). The reaction of 1 with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane afforded the boryl-substituted disilene R(R '' B-2)Si=SiHR 3 (R '' B-2 = 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-yl). Spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses of 2a, b, and 3 showed that 2a and 3 have a coplanar arrangement of the Si=Si double bond and amino or boryl groups, giving pi-conjugation between the Si=Si double bond and the lone pair on the nitrogen atom or vacant orbital on the boron atom, whereas 2b exhibits no such conjugation.
