Abstract
Photolysis and thermal decomposition of betaines R3P−CR1R2−SiR3R4−S− (1) follows two main pathways: (a) a Corey—Chaykovsky type reaction with elimination of Ph3P and generation of silathiirane
(2) and (b) a retro-Wittig type reaction accompanied by elimination of R3P=CR1R2 and generation of silanethione R3R4Si=S (3). Highly reactive compounds2 and3 undergo subsequent transformations to give derivatives of tetrahydro-1,4-dithia-2,5-disilin, 1,3-dithia-2,4-disilolane, and phosphonium salts ofsymm-tetraorganodisilthiane dithiolates [Ph3P+CHR1R2]2[(R3R4SiS−)2S]. The structures of the compounds obtained were established by X-ray diffraction analysis and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.

The betaines Et3P+CHMeSiMe2S− and Et3P+CHMeSiPh2S− with alkyl groups at the phosphorus atom are distinguished by high thermal stability; their spectral characteristics do not change during storage of solutions of these compounds in pyridine-d5 or metastable solutions in benzene-d6 for 1–2 years at −20°C in sealed evacuated tubes or on heating (150°C) for 15 h.
