Strong influence of intramolecular Si?O proximity on reactivity: Systematic molecular structure, solvolysis, and mechanistic study of cyclic N-trimethylsilyl carboxamide derivatives

A comparative alcoholysis study of N-silylated derivatives of simple heterocyclic carboxamides (lactams, imides, ureas) is presented. The second-order rate constant values span a range as wide as three orders of magnitude. On the basis of DFT calculations, a good correlation between reactivity and the Si?O distance was found within each family of compounds. The viability of two different reaction pathways was evaluated using a detailed computational mechanistic study of the methanolysis of cyclic urea homologues. Peculiarities in the single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures of the trimethylsilyl and trimethylsiloxy phthalimides are also discussed.

Synthesis of ω-phthalimidoalkylphosphonates

Diethyl phthalimidoalkylphosphonates were synthesized by the reaction of diethyl bromoalkylphosphonates with N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)phthalimide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
