Reaction Steps

The conversion of Polymer 1 into Polymer 2 was preceded by the preparation of 1-(3-bromobenzyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1,2,5-azadisilolidine. 3-Bromobenzylamine hydrochloride (25.0 g, 112.3 mmol) was converted to the free base by neutralization with sodium hydroxide and extraction into methylene chloride. Drying and solvent removal resulted in 20.3 g of a brown liquid which was used as such. To the above 3-bromobenzylamine (20.3 g, 109 mmol), in a round bottom flask equipped with a condenser and under argon atmosphere, was added 150 mL of methylene chloride and 30.3 mL (217 mmol) of triethylamine. To this stirred mixture cooled with an ice bath was added slowly 109 mL (109 mmol) of 1 M 1,2-bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane dissolved in methylene chloride. During the addition, considerable precipitate formed. The ice-bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for another 6.5 h at room temperature. The white solid was removed by filtration and washed with methylene chloride (2×30 mL). The filtrate was evaporated using a rotary evaporator resulting in further precipitate formation. Hexanes (100 mL) were added to this mixture. The solid was removed by filtration and washed with hexanes (2×20 mL). After hexane removal from the filtrate, a yellowish liquid was obtained which was distilled to yield 29.0 g (82% yield) of light yellowish liquid (bp. 93-5° C./0.05 mm Hg).
