Chlorotrimethylsilane → N-(4-Ethenylphenyl)-1,1,1-trimethyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)silanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethylmagnesium bromide in THF (0.6M, 150 mL) was added dropwise 4-[N-(trimethylsilyl)amino]styrene (8.4 g, 44 mmole) with stirring. The mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 16 hours. To the resulting solution was added trimethylsilylchloride (13 g, 120 mmole)and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. By fractional distillation, a product was isolated at 45°-48° C./0.32 mm in 55% yield. The product was confirmed by spectral analysis to be the desired compound.
