title: A new high-yield synthesis of Cl(3)P=NSiMe(3), a monomeric precursor for the controlled preparation of high molecular weight polyphosphazenes.
abstract: The phosphoranimine, Cl(3)P=NSiMe(3), was prepared using a new, high-yield (>80%), one-pot synthesis via oxidation of the chlorophosphine, Cl(2)PN(SiMe(3))(2) with SO(2)Cl(2) in ether. Cl(3)P=NSiMe(3) is a valuable monomeric precursor in the synthesis of well-defined polyphosphazenes.
