Allylamine → 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1-allyl-1-aza-2-silacyclopentane

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 2,2,4-trimethyl-1-allyl-1-aza-2-silacyclopentane was prepared as follows. Chlorodimethyl(3-chloro-2-methylpropyl)silane (100 g, 0.54 mol) was slowly added to 211.73 g (3.71 mol, 6.87 eq) of undistilled allyl amine resulting in an exothermic reaction. This reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours, heated to reflux at atmospheric pressure for 72 hours, and heated to 120° C. under about 50 psig pressure for 16 hours. The following GC-MS ratios shown in the Table exemplified the reactions progression and the spectra observed were as shown.
