1,1-Dichlorosilacyclobutane → 1,1-Diacetamidosilacyclobutane

Participants

Reaction Steps

When 1.72 g of trimethylsilylacetamide was mixed with 0.92 g of 1,1-dichlorosilacyclobutane in 5 g of methylene chloride, a white precipitate formed. The precipitate dissoved upon shaking and slowly recrystallized as white needles. There was no trimethylchlorosilane detected in the residual fluid, indicating that the expected reaction to form 1,1-diacetamidosilacyclobutane did not occur.
