REACTIVITY OF HETEROCYCLIC α-AMINOMETHYLSILANES WITH ALCOHOLS

Abstract

Alkoxylation of N-substituted heterocyclic aminomethylsilyl moieties was studied using primary and tertiary alcohols. The reaction of 4-(silylmethyl)morpholine and 1-(silylmethyl)azepane under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions leads to the formation of dialkoxy- and trialkoxyaminomethylsilyl derivatives. The methanolysis of 4-(silylmethyl)morpholine resulted in trimethoxyaminomethylsilane formation as the main product and two byproducts, i.e., tetramethoxysilane and N-methylmorpholine.
