Sodium Iodide → (3-Iodopropyl)triethoxysilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium iodide (15 g, 93.325 mmol) was dissolved in acetone and (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane (22 mL, 45.63 mmol) was added dropwise. The resultant mixture was shaken at 80° C. for 48 hours in argon. The reaction crude was cooled to room temperature, filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. A yellowish liquid (28.476 g) containing 90% of iodinated compound and 10% of the chlorinated reagent was obtained. Said liquid was kept for further use without purification.
