A series of iso-carbamate complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of [SnII(OiPr)2] or [SnII(OtBu)2] with either aryl or alkyl isocyanates, ONC-R (R = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (Mes),…

Nucleophilic Magnesium Silanide and Silaamidinate Derivatives.

DFT calculations demonstrate that the previously reported reaction of [(BDI)Mg-n-Bu] with the silaborane Me2PhSi-Bpin provides the magnesium silanide derivative, through the intermediacy of a short-lived silyl-pinacolato-organoborate species, to be a consequence of the enhanced electrophilicity of the N-aryl-substituted carbodiimide reagent.
