Synthesis of model compounds for the formation of self-assembled monolayers on a silicon surface

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1995-4058

The synthesis of terminally functionalized alkanes, which represent potential compounds for formation of self-assembled monolayers, is reported. The alkanes described are substituted at one end with a trichloro- or trialkoxysilyl group suitable for linkage to a hydroxylated silicon surface and at the other end with a vinyl or amino group for further functionalization.
