Triazadiphosphole [1] was recently prepared from (Me3Si) 2NÀ N (SiMe3) PCl2 [2] and GaCl3 under mild conditions in a formal GaCl3-assisted [3+ 2] cycloaddition. The second example of a binary azaphosphole, the tetrazaphosphole,[3] was formed in the reaction of Me3SiN3 with Mes* N= PCl (Mes*= 2, 4, 6-tBu3C6H2), again catalyzed by GaCl3. Both reactions only succeed when GaCl3 is added, because GaCl3 triggers the elimination of Me3SiCl and kinetically stabilizes the heterocycle at the end of the reaction sequence by adduct formation (yields for both reactions are greater than 95%). To our knowledge, binary five-membered arsenic–nitrogen heterocycles composed of only these two elements are not yet known, and hence we tried to apply the GaCl3-assisted [3+ 2] cycloaddition to the arsenic species.[4a] In analogy to the azaphosphole synthesis, two routes seemed promising: 1) The reaction of (Me3Si) 2NÀN (Me3Si) AsCl2 with GaCl3, which, however, led to (ClSiMe2) 2NÀN (SiMe3) AsMe2, after an intriguing intrinsic Cl/methyl exchange.[4b] 2) Utilization of “disguised” kinetically stabilized iminoarsanes that give high yields of the desired tetrazarsole (Scheme1). Herein, we provide an interesting extension of the GaCl3-assisted formal [3+ 2] cycloaddition to the chemistry of arsenic, which led to the isolation of the first binary arsenic–nitrogen five-membered heterocycle, a tetrazarsole. We started with an investigation of the equilibrium between cyclic diarsadiazane (1) and its monomer, the iminoarsane (2; Scheme 1), by means of temperature-dependent 1H NMR spectroscopy. The dimer was first described by Burford et al., and the authors speculated on its reversible dissociation.[5] The white crystalline dimer 1 readily dissolves in CH2Cl2, but the initially colorless solution slowly turns red, the color of the monomeric species. To derive thermochemical data for the dimer–monomer equilibrium, 1H NMR spectra were collected between 233 and 298 K, yielding a value of 2.2 kJmolÀ1 for the enthalpy of monomerization.[6a]A dimer/monomer ratio of 1: 1.7 was found at 298K, corresponding to a free enthalpy ΔG8= À2. 6 kJ molÀ1. If one equivalent of Me3SiN3 (relative to the monomer) and subsequently one equivalent of GaCl3 are added at À408C to 1 and 2 in equilibrium, the red color of the monomer immediately disappears, and one new colorless species is formed, according to 1H and 13C NMR studies. Indeed, the end of the reaction (complete formation of the new species) can be titrated utilizing the distinct color
