Chlorodiisopropylphosphane reacts with hexachlorodisilane to give diisopropyl(trichlorosilyl)phosphane which reacts with the educt chlorophosphane to produce tetraisopropyldiphosphane. Tetraisopropyldiphosphane reacts with hexachlorodisilane to provide diisopropyl(trichlorosilyl)phosphane. With di-tert-butylchlorophosphane and tetra-tert-butyldiphosphane, the corresponding reactions leading to di-tert-butyl(trichlorosilyl)phosphane are much slower; while the product does not react further with di-tert-butylchlorophosphane, it does with chlorodiisopropylphosphane. A stable 1:1 complex is formed from di-tert-butyl(trichlorosilylphosphane) with silver bromide. Products are characterized on the basis of analytical and 1H, 13C, 29Si and 31P NMR data.
