In the reaction with benzophenone and phenylaldehyde lithiated aminofluorosilanes behave like iminosilanes. Four membered rings are formed in (2+2) cycloadditions. The oxaazasilacyclobutane ((CMe 3 ) 2 Si—NCMe 3 —C 6 H 5 CH—O—) was purified by destillation. Single crystals were obtained by recrystallization from hexane. The thermal cleavage of the (SiNCO)-rings leads to carboimines and cyclosiloxanes. The lithium derivate of di-tert-butylfluorosilyl-2.6-diisopropylphenylamine reacts with 2-methyl-propenal-2 in two competing ways. In a (2+4) cycloaddition an 1-oxa-3-aza-2-sila-5-cyclohexene is formed, and in a (2+2) cycloaddition 2-methyl-2-propenyl-N-(2.6-diisopropylphenyl)imine is generated via an (SiNCO)-ring intermediate.
