Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out as in Example 3; however, the acetylene pressure was increased to 150 psig and the reaction temperature was maintained at 240° C. Vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane was the single major product at a yield of 85% theoretical. Ethyltris(dimethylamino)silane and 1,2-bis(trisdimethylamino)silylethane were also formed, each in approximately a 2 to 3% yield. Vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane was also formed in approximately 10% yield.
