Isolation of the Stable Silaketimine <i>t</i>Bu₂SiNSi<i>t</i>Bu₃

Abstract

The SiN bond of the silaketimine 2, which is obtained by “thermal salt elimination” from the lithium compound 1, can undergo numerous addition reactions. For example, reaction with methyl vinyl ether affords the [2+2] cycloadduct 3.
