Abstract

In the presence of cuprous chloride, hydrosilanes and primary amines react to give silazanes. Methylphenylsilane reacts with (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine to give the two diastereomeric monosilazanes as the only products. Aniline and benzylamine react with methylphenyl-and diphenylsilanes to give primarily the monosilazane, disilazane, or diazasilane as the main product, depending on the reactant ratios. Phenylsilane gives ...
