Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (113.5 grams; 0.63 moles) was used. Sodium methoxide (2.3 grams, 2 wt.%) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred and heated to 90° C. to 98° C. for 6 hours at 4-8 mm Hg, while slowly removing distillate. However gas chromatographic analysis indicated 1,1-dimethoxysila-2-azacyclopentane was not formed. The distillate consisted of >99% 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The reaction mixture was further heated to 130° C. (>10 mm Hg) but distillate analysis again indicated no five-membered ring cyclosilazane product was formed.
