Chlorotrimethylsilane → HCID 5257301, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

m-Phenylenediamine (10.8 g; 0.1 mole) and triethylamine (20.2 g; 0.2 mole) in dry toluene (100 ml) were stirred and treated with trimethylchlorosilane (21.7 g; 0.2 mole) which was added dropwise over 1 hour. Stirring was continued for a further hour, and the mixture was then heated under reflux for 1 hour. After cooling and filtering the product, the solvent was evaporated to leave 24.2 g of m-bis(trimethylsilylamino)benzene, which is hereinafter referred to as Silamine II. This product has a theoretical amino-hydrogen equivalent weight of 63, i.e., its theoretical amino-hydrogen content is 15.87 equivalents/kg.
