The reductive coupling of chlorotris(diorganylamino)silanes 1 with chlorotrimethylsilane by the action oflithium in THF provides for steric reasons, an easy access to unsymmetrical aminosubstituted disilanes (R2N)3Si-SiMe3 3. Similarly, cross-coupling to give pentakis(diethylamino)disilane 4 is observed between 1a and bis(diethylamino)chloro-hydridosilane 2a on treatment with lithium. In reactions of the less bulky bis(diorganylamino)chlorohy-dridosilanes 2 with ClSiMe3 and Li, however, thesymmetrical coupling is preferred and affords SiH-functional substituted (R2N)32HSi-SiH(NR2)2 5. Aminosubstituted disilanes 3-5 are useful starting materials for modification of disilanes or syntheses ofsilicon heterocycles via generation and trapping of aminosilylenes, as exemplified by diethylaminosilacyclopent-3-ene 6a. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
