Methyl iodide → Methyl-tris(tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylpropyl)ammonium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.42 g of tris(tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylpropyl)amine (30), 1.2 g of methyl iodide and 0.9 g of sodium carbonate are added to 50 ml of acetone. The reaction mixture is stirred for 15 hours at reflux. The solvent is evaporated and the residue taken up in methylene chloride. The organic phase is then washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue contains the desired product methyl-tris(tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylpropyl)ammonium iodide (31); 1H-NMR (ppm, CDCl3): 3.27 6H t, 3.18 3H s, 1.56-1.50 6H m, 0.37 6H t, 0 81H s.
