Compounds containing the Si-N-P linkage combine the structural and stereochemical diversity of phosphorus with the reactivity of the silicon-nitrogen bond. Indeed, much of the derivative chemistry and synthetic potential of these compounds, especially the (silylamino)phosphines such as (Me Si) NPMe2,is based on this difunctional character. We report here a general, "one-pot" synthesis of (silylamino)phosphines and describe their use in the preparation of several types of phosphorus-containing materials. Synthesis of (Silylamino)phosphines. In a typical preparation, addition of one molar equivalent of PCI to a stirred solution of LiN(SiMe ) in ether at -78°C followed by one or two equivalents of an alkyl Grignard or lithium reagent at 0°C gives the corresponding mono- or dialkylphosphine .

dure routinely affords high yields (ca 75%) and large quantities (ca 100-200 g) of the phosphine product. Moreover, the method has been generalized to include the use of other silylamines, PhPCl instead of PCI , and different organometallic reagents. Synthesis of Polyphosphazenes. We are investigat­ ing a new, direct synthesis of phosphazene polymers which involves the thermally-induced elimination of silanes from suitably constructed N-silylphosphinimines.
