Abstract
Two modes of reactivity of N-silylphosphoranimines have been utilized to prepare the title compounds containing either B–N=P or Si–N=P–N–B linkages. First, silicon-nitrogen bond cleavage reactions of the N-silylphosphoranimines, Me3SiN=PMe(R)OCH2CF3 (1: R=Me, 2: R=Ph), with various chloroboranes gave the new N-borylphosphoranimines, Ph(Me2N)B–N=PMe2OCH2CF3 (2) and [(Me3Si)2N](Cl)B–N=PMe2OCH2CF3 (10). In other cases, however, the expected B–N=P products were unstable and cyclic phosphazenes [Me(R)P=N]3,4 were obtained. Second, deprotonation-substitution reactions of the aminophosphoranimines, Me3SiN=P(R)Me–N(R′)H, were used to prepare a series of novel (borylamino)-phosphoranimines, Me3SiN=P(R)(Me)–N(R′)–B(NMe2)2 (18: R=Me, R′=t-Bu; 19: R=R′=Me; 20: R=Ph, R′=t-Bu; 21: R=Ph, R′=Me) and Me3SiN=PMe2–N(t-Bu)–B(Ph)X (22: X=NMe2, 23: X=OCH2CF3). All of the new boron–nitrogen–phosphorus products were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, and 31P) spectroscopy and elemental analysis.
