- Abstract
Investigations concerning the reactivity of the N‐heterocyclic silylene Dipp2NHSi (1, 1,3‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1,3‐diaza‐2‐silacyclopent‐4‐en‐2‐ylidene) towards selected alanes and boranes, elemental halides X2 (X=Br, I), selected halide containing substrates such as tin chlorides and halocarbons, as well as organoazides are presented. The NHSi adducts Dipp2NHSi⋅AlI3 (2), Dipp2NHSi⋅Al(C6F5)3 (3), and Dipp2NHSi⋅B(C6F5)3 (4) were formed by the reaction of Dipp2NHSi with the corresponding Lewis acids AlI3, Al(C6F5)3 and B(C6F5)3. Adducts 3 and 4 were tested with respect to their ability to activate small organic molecules, but no frustrated Lewis pair reactivity was observed. Reactions of Dipp2NHSi with Br2, I2, Ph2SnCl2 and Me3SnCl led to formation of Dipp2NHSiBr2 (5), Dipp2NHSiI2 (6), Dipp2NHSiCl2 (7) and {(Me3Sn)N(Dipp)CH}2 (8), respectively. The reaction with the halocarbons methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, and benzyl bromide afforded the insertion products Dipp2NHSi(I)(CH3) (9), Dipp2NHSi(Cl)(CH2Ph) (10) and Dipp2NHSi(Br)(CH2Ph) (11). Reaction of Dipp2NHSi with the organoazides Ad‐N3 (Ad=adamantyl) and TMS‐N3 (TMS=trimethylsilyl) led to the formation of 1‐Dipp2NHSi‐2,5‐bis(adamantyl)‐tetrazoline (12) and bis(trimethylsilyl)amido azido silane (13), respectively. For 2,6‐(diphenyl)phenyl‐N3 C−H activation occurs and a cyclosilamine 14 was isolated.
