Sila- or germaethene Me2E=C(SiMe3)2 quantitatively react with azidoalkanes or -silanes RN3 nMe3-nSi, Ph3Si, (Me3Si)2NMe2E, Me2SiN3> at -78 deg C by cycloaddition to form sila- or germadihydrotriazoles 3 and 4, respectively.The latter decompose partly below (E = Si, R = silyl), partly at or above room temperature (E = Si, R = alkyl; E = Ge) in a first-order reaction by isomerization into diazomethane derivatives as well as by cycloreversion into (Me3Si)2C=N=N and silan- or germanimines Me2E=NR (rate constants: Table 1).The saturated compounds Me2E= NR are formed as short-lived intermediates.Their stabilization, as a rule, takes place by dimerization and, in exceptional cases, by reaction with the silan- or germanimine sources (R = SiMe3) or by intramolecular migration processes .
