Synthesis and structure of 2,4,6-tris[tris(dimethylamino)silylamino]borazine: {[(CH3)2N]3SiNH}3B3N3H3

A novel compound 2,4,6-tris[tris(dimethylamino)silylamino]borazine {[(CH3)2N]3SiNH}3B3N3H3 (1) was prepared by reaction between lithium tris(dimethylamino)silylamide [(CH3)2N]3SiNHLi and 2,4,6-trichloroborazine Cl3B3N3H3. The molecular structure of 1 was discussed on the basis of its FTIR, NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis.
