1-(3-Bromoprop-1-yl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1,2,5-azadisilolidine → N-[3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disila-1-cyclopentyl)-1-propyl]phthalimide

Reaction Steps

About 3.36 g of potassium phthalimide, 4.89 g of 1-(3-bromopropyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane, and 12 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide were mixed in a flask. The mixture was stirred for 5 hour while the flask was kept in an oil bath maintained at 75° C. The N,N-dimethylformamide was removed under vacuum. The residue was extracted with 90 mL of toluene and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was triturated with 80 mL of hexane, cooled with dry ice, and then filtered to give N-[3-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disila-1-cyclopentyl)-1-propyl]phthalimide (TMADSCPPI) as a white solid (4.3 g, 68% yield). 1H NMR data (C6D6, 25° C., referenced to tetramethylsilane) of the product: δ 7.41 (multiplet, 2H, aromatic protons), 6.81 (multiplet, 2H, aromatic protons), 3.55 (multiplet, 2H, CH2 protons), 2.79 (multiplet, 2H, CH2 protons), 1.77 (multiplet, 2 H, CH2 protons), 0.70 (singlet, 4H, CH2—Si protons), 0.06 (singlet, 12H, Si—CH3 protons).
