Reaction Steps

4-Nitrobutyltrimethylsilane was prepared as follows: To a solution of 1.9 g (0.028 mol) of sodium nitrite in 30 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide was added 2.92 g (0.014 mol) of 4-bromobutyltrimethylsilane. After 3 hrs, 30 ml of water was added and the mixture was extracted with three 15 ml portions of carbon tetrachloride. The carbon tetrachloride solution was washed with 10 ml of water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The NMR spectrum showed 30% nitrite ester (CH2ONOδ4.57), and 70% nitro compound. Distillation gave 1.1 g (45%) of 4-nitrobutyltrimethylsilane, bp 54°-6° (0.9 mm).
