Reaktionsschritte

A mixture containing 12.8 g (0.1 mole) 5,5-dimethylhydantoin, 5.6 g (0.1 mole) potassium hydroxide and 100 cc ethanol was heated to the boiling point until a clear solution was obtained. The ethanol was then evaporated under reduced pressure to isolate the solid, anhydrous salt. The salt was combined with 100 cc of dry N,N-dimethylformamide and the resultant mixture was heated at 50° C. until a clear solution formed. A 19.8 g (0.1 mole) portion of chloropropyl trimethoxysilane was then added dropwise to the aforementioned salt solution under a nitrogen atmosphere with stirring. The temperature of the reaction mixture increased slightly during the addition, which is indicative of an exothermic reaction, and a white precipitate (potassium chloride) began to form when the silane addition was begun. Following completion of the addition the reaction mixture was heated at 95° C. for three hours. Analysis by vapor phase chromatography of the liquid phase demonstrated that the initial chloropropyl trimethoxysilane had been converted to a product exhibiting a high retention time. The reaction mixture was then cooled and filtered, following which the liquid phase was distilled to remove the N,N-dimethylformamide. A second fraction was collected at a temperature of 194° C. and a pressure of 4 mm of mercury and subsequently solidified to a white solid. Analysis by vapor phase chromatography indicated that this material was 98% pure and contained a trace amount of the initial hydantoin. The infra-red spectrum of the material was consistent with the proposed structure ##STR7## The product was found to contain 9.74% by weight of silicon and 9.92% nitrogen. The calculated values for the expected product are 9.64% silicon and 9.66% nitrogen.
