Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7 parts (39 mmol.) of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and 20 parts (330 mmol.) of methyl formate was heated under reflux in a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was monitored by gas chromatography and was found to be complete after 3 hours. Volatiles were then removed in vacuum, yielding the desired N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)formamide.
