Substituted trisilylamines. Part I. Properties of the hydrogen and phenyl substituents in trisilylamine systems

Abstract
The trisilylamines (Me3Si)nN(SiMe2H)3–n(n= 0, 1, 2) and (Me3Si)2N·Si(Me2)Ph are reported. The SiH function in the former compounds is very inert in addition reactions with alkenes and in hydrolysis but can be halogenated normally. The hydrolytic stability of the compounds has been compared with that of other types of SiN compound and shown to be high. In particular, (Me3Si)2NBut is hydrolysed much more rapidly than (Me3Si)3N. This result is discussed.
