Ammonia → (2-Cyclohexen-1-yloxy)(trimethyl)silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a solution of 2.26 g (0.0102 mole) of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in 20 ml of benzene was added dropwise a mixed solution of 1.06 g (0.0107 mole) of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane and 2 ml of DBU in 5 ml of benzene at room temperature under an atmosphere of argon. After further agitation for 20 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was subjected to column chromatography with silica gel treated with ammonia as the adsorbent. Subsequent distillation of a chromatographic fraction gave 1.51 g of 3-trimethylsiloxycyclohexene boiling at 50° to 60° C. under a pressure of 50 mmHg. The yield was about 87% of the calculated value.
