Triethoxysilane → 4-[N,N-bis(3,4-dimethylphenyl)amino]-[2-(triethoxysilyl)ethyl]benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

40 mL of toluene, 6.0 g (37 mmol) of triethoxysilane, and 0.34 mmol of dichloro-(n-cycloocta-1,5-diene) platinum were loaded into a three-neck flask. While being stirred at room temperature, 20 mL of a toluene solution of 9.9 g of 4-[N,N-bis-(3,4-dimethylphenyl) amino] styrene was dropped into the flask. Upon completion of the addition of the drops, the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 70° C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and a lemon-yellow oily substance of 4-[N,N-bis-(3,4-dimethylphenyl) amino]-[2-(triethoxysilyl) ethyl] benzene was obtained. The amount obtained was 14.0 g (yield was 94.2%).
