The reaction of alkyl(diorgany1amino)chlorophosphanes R(R;N)PCl 1 ( l a : R = tBu, R' = Et, l b : R = iPr, R' = iPr; l c : R = iPr, R' = Ph) with hexachlorodisilane, afforded alkyl(diorgany1amino)trichlorosilylphosphanes R(R;N)PSiCl, 2 (2 a: R = tBu, R' = Et; 2b: R = iPr, R' = iPr; 2c: R = iPr, R' = Ph) and silicon tetrachloride. An intermediate formed in the reaction of 1 b with hexachlorodisilane, the adduct IPr(iPr2N)(C1)P-Si(C1)3-SiC13 (3b = l b . Si2C16), was detected by 31P-and 29Si-NMR spectra that indicate pentacoordinated silicon bound to tetracoordinated phosphorus and tetracoordinated silicon. Trichlorosilylphosphanes 2 are also available from 1 under very mild conditions by reductive trichlorosilylation with trichlorosilane in the presence of triethylamine. Compounds 2 were identified analytically, by mass spectroscopy, multinuclear NMR, and an X-ray structure determination of 2c.Recently, the reductive trichlorosilylation of chlorophosphanes with hexachlorodisilane provided a novel, very mild access to molecules with silicon-phosphorus Dialkylchlorophosphanes were easily converted into dialkyl-(trichlorosilyl)phosphanes, but the bis(sily1ation) of alkyldichlorophosphanes with two equivalents of hexachlorodisilane, leading to alkylbis(trichlorosilyl)phosphanes, requires rather bulky alkyl substituents at phosphorus (tertbutyl, adamantyl), which prevent the undesired formation of c y c l~p h o s p h a n e~~~~~. An alternative approach to bifunctional trichlorosilylphosphanes would be the protection of one reactive P-Cl bond by substitution with an appropriate diorganylamino group. This method would be most useful if the subsequent reductive trichlorosilylation reagent attacked the P-Cl bond selectively. From a rough bond energy estimate, P-N attack with trichlorosilylamine formation also seemed a likely (undesired) reaction pathway. For that reason, we chose three related moderately bulky alkyl-(diorgany1amino)chlorophosphanes R(R;N)PCl 1 (1 a: R = tBu, R' = Et, l b : R = iPr, R' = iPr; l c : R = iPr, R' = Ph) as starting materials for the attempted selective trichlorosilylation. The course of various reactions of hexachlorodisilane in the presence of nucleophilic functionalities (such as the long-known phosphane oxide and sulfide reducti0n[~,~1 or the recent Si-Sn bond formation with trimethylstannylphosphanesr8l), appears to be associated with latent trichlorosilyl anions. These trichlorosilyl anion functions are generated from one SiCI3 group of Si2C16 when the other silicon atom is attacked by a nucle~phile[~,~I. 'Trichlorosilyl anions are also the key intermediates in numerous reactions involving trichlorosilane/tertiary amine system^^^-'^^. Among these reactions are the formation of C-Si bonds from halogenoalkane~[~-~~1; the related reduction of chlorophosphanes with HSiCl,/NEt, furnished the corresponding P-H obviously after workup in the presence of moisture. Molecules with P-Si bonds have been postulated as intermediate species in this reducti~n['~]. More recently, Schmutzler and Plack detecte...

Similarly, dichloro(isopropy1)phosphane 1 a consumes two equivalents of hexachlorodisilane at -40 "C in toluene, affording tetraisopropylcyclotetraphosphane (2a), which was isolated (59%) in a pure state by distillation (eq. 2). 2a is not further attacked by hexachlorodisilane even at 100°C. Since the formation of cyclophosphane 2a might be due to decomposition of the short-lived intermediate chloro(isopropyl)(trichlorosilyl)phosphane, we protected one P-Cl function of l a with a diethylamino group. The reaction of chloro(diethylamino)(isopropyl)phosphane with hexachlorodisilane did indeed allow the
