Abstract
Alkyl- or arylbis(trimethylsilyl)phosphines as well as tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine and the corresponding arsines react with acyl chlorides to give [1-(trimethylsiloxy)alkylidene]phosphines 1 and -arsines 2; most of their 2,2-dimethylpropylidene derivatives are thermally stable at room temperature. With the same class of phosphines as starting compounds and carbon disulfide [bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]phosphines 3 are formed, whereas [(dialkylamino)methylidene]-4 and [diarylmethylidene]phosphines 5 or the corresponding arsines 6 and 7 can be obtained from acyl amides or ketones.1
