ORGANOELEMENTAL AMINE/IMINE COMPOUNDS .10. N-ORGANO(VB) AND P-ORGANO(VB)ELEMENT-SUBSTITUTED AMINE AND IMINE COMPOUNDS OF PHOSPHORUS

Reaction of [(CH3)3C]2P-NLi-R (R = H, CH3) with dimethyl(Vb)element halides yields the aminophosphines [(CH3)3C]2P-NR-M(CH3)2 (I); the analogous reaction of [(CH3)3C]2P-NLi-Si(CH3)3 affords the phosphino-, arsino- and stibinophosphinimines [(CH3)3C]2P[=NSi(CH3)3][M(CH3)2] (III). This transfer of an (silylamino)phosphine into the new class of N-silyl-P-[dimethyl(Vb)element]phosphinimines opens a simple way to the formation of PV-PIII-, PV-AsIII- and PV-SbIII-bonds. © 1969.
