Hexamethyldisilazane 1 reacts with borane in tetrahydrofuran (THFBH 3 , 2 ) first by formation of an adduct (Me 3 Si) 2 NHBH 3 ( 3 ), and then either to the N,N‐bis‐(trimethylsilyl)‐μ‐aminodiborane 5 or to the mixture of 5 and N‐trimethylsilyl‐μ‐aminodiborane(6) 6 , depending on the reaction conditions. The compounds 5 and 6 can be quantitatively converted to the N,N′,N″‐tris(trimethylsilyl)borazine 4 . Three intermediates can be identified, namely N,N‐bis(trimethylsilyl)borane 7 , N,N‐bis(trimethylsilyl)amino(N′‐trimethylsilylamino)borane 8 and N‐trimethylsilylaminoborane‐trimer. All products and intermediates were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and coupling constant 1 J( 29 Si, 15 N) were measured from 29 Si NMR spectra by using the Hahn‐echo‐extended (HEED) INEPT pulse sequence.
