Abstract

Exhaustive reductive silylation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)-1,2,3-triazole (I) using Me3SiCl/K yields (E)-(Me3Si)2NCH:CHN(SiMe3)2 (II) and N(SiMe3)3. Initial reductive 1,4-addn. to I leads to 1,2,3-tris(trimethylsilyl)-1,2,3-triazoline (III) as an intermediate, which is rapidly reduced and silylated further to give II. Partial p overlap within the five-membered ring of III is evident from NMR shifts and electron-transfer reaction with TCNE. Photoelectron spectroscopy of II and the lability of its radical cation, as studied by ESR, show that this system cannot adopt a planar conformation, in contrast to the tetrazene(2) analog. on SciFinder(R)
