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

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a three-necked flask, 40 ml of toluene, 6.0 g of triethoxysilane and 0.54 mmol of diplatinum (0) tris(tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane) in toluene were placed, and 20 ml of a toluene solution containing 9.9 g of 4-[N,N-bis(3,4-dimethylphenyl)amino]styrene was added dropwise with stirring at room temperature. After the addition was completed, the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 3 hours, and thereafter the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain oily pale yellow 4-[N,N-bis(3,4-dimethylphenyl)amino]-[2-(triethoxysilyl)ethyl]benzene in an amount of 13.4 g (yield: 90.1%).
