Tetramethylsilane in synthesis: Selective mono- and polymethylations of germanium tetrachloride
Bordeau, Michel,Djamei, S. Mohammad,Dunoguès, Jacques
, p. 1087 - 1089 (1985)
In the presence of catalytic amounts of aluminum bromide (or chloride), selective mono-, di-, tri-, or tetramethylation of germanium tetrachloride was effected in high yield with tetramethylsilane (Me4Si) as the methylating reagent. According to the Me4Si/GeCl4 ratio, MeGeCl3, Me2GeCl2, Me3GeCl, and Me4Ge were prepared in 66, 86, 100, and 91% maximum yields, respectively. In these reactions, Me4Si was converted into Me3SiCl and subsequently Me2SiCl2. A mechanism for methylation is proposed, involving the initial formation of Me4Ge (observed regardless of the proportions of starting reagents) followed by disproportionation reactions, with methylchlorosilanes or -germanes present when the initial molecular ratio Me4Si/GeCl4 was lower than 4/1.

Aryltrimethylgermane cation radicals were generated by nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Transient kinetics experiments show that the aryltrimethylgermane cation radicals react with added nucleophiles in reactions that are first-order in both

Reactions of dialkyl(trimethylsilyl)phosphanes RR'PSiMe3 (1: R, R' = tBu; 3: R, R' = iPr; 5: R = iPr, R' = tBu) with Si2Cl6 provide stable trichlorosilylphosphanes RR'PSiCl3 (2, 4, 6); the reactions of silyl- and stannylamines of iPr2NMMe3 (M = Si: 11; M = Sn: 12) with Si2Cl6, however, provide the stable pentachlorodisilanylamine iPr2NSi2Cl5 (13). Heating of 1 with the technical mixture Me2(Cl)SiSiCl2Me/(MeCl2Si)2 yields the stable silylphosphane tBu2PSiMe2Cl (8) and the disilanylphosphane tBu2PSi(Me)(Cl)Si(Me)Cl2 (9). Methylation of 9 with MeLi gave tBu2PSi2Me5 10, which was isolated in a pure state. Reactions of tBu(iPr)PSiMe3 (5) and of organometal phosphanes tBu(iPr)PMR3 (14: M = Ge, R = Me; 17a-c: M = Sn; R = Me, Et, nBu) with Si2Cl6 were monitored by 31P, 29Si, and 119Sn NMR. - In the first step of these reactions, new tBu(iPr)PSi2Cl5 (7) is formed. 7 is accompanied by increasing amounts of tBu(iPr)PSiCl3 (6) and Me3GeSiCl3 (15)/(Me3Ge)2Si(SiCl3)2 (16) or traces of compounds R3SnSiCl3 (19a-c) that decompose providing (R3Sn)2Si(SiCl3)2 (18a-c) and nBu3SnSi(SiCl3)3 (20c). Subsequently, compounds 19a-c decompose providing increasing amounts of 18a-c. Stannylphosphane 17b is also cleaved by SiCl4 leading to 6 with liberation of Et3SnCl, whereas 17b is formed from the reaction of 5 with Et3SnCl under liberation of Me3SiCl. The suggestion of an extra stabilisation of P-Si bonds of trichlorosilylphosphanes was subjected to direct evidence through the structure determination of the trichlorosilylphosphane tBu2PSiCl3 (2) in the gas phase by electron diffraction. This crowded molecule has a 'normal' P-Si bond length of 225.0(12) pm; its C1 symmetric conformation with both tBu groups and the SiCl3 group twisted about 17°from the perfectly staggered positions, and with each of the three groups tilted about 6°away from each other, allows to reduce steric strain.
Thermal decomposition of platinum(IV)-silicon, -germanium, and -tin complexes

The thermal decomposition of a number of complexes of the type [PtMe2(Me3E)X(diimine)] (E = Si, Ge, Sn; X = Cl, Br, I) has been studied. The thermal stability of complexes, as determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), varies depending on the diimine ligand in the order 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy) > 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy-tbu2) > N-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)pyridine-2-aldimine (paen-me2) > (2-imino-n-propyl)pyridine (py-n-pr). Stability also varies according to the trends E = Sn ≈ Ge > Si and X = I > Br > Cl. The products of thermal decomposition have also been determined by 1H NMR and three distinct modes of decomposition are evident: reductive elimination of Me3EX, reductive elimination of Me4E, and α-elimination of Me2E. The competition between reductive elimination of Me3EX and Me4E depends primarily on the halide, X, with the ratio Me3EX:Me4E highest for X = Cl and lowest for X = I. The competition between reductive elimination and α-elimination depends primarily on E, with the tendency to α-elimination of Me2E increasing as E = Si 2(Me3Si)(bpy)] as 233 ± 14 kJ mol-1.
