Octyltrichlorosilane → Octyltriacetoxysilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 1-1 round-bottomed flask were placed first 55 g of anhydrous sodium acetate, and then 500 ml of anhydrous heptane. To the white suspension formed was added 50 g of octyltrichlorosilane. The reaction medium was left under stirring at ambient temperature for 2 h, and then filtered under argon to remove the precipitate. The filtrate was concentrated to eliminate the heptane, giving 54 g (88% yield) of octyltriacetoxysilane as a colorless oil.
