246. Monofunctional (Dimethylamino)silane as Silylating Agent

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19840670813

The reaction of triorganyl(dimethylamino)silanes with surface-hydrated silicon dioxide has been studied.These silylating agents are easy to prepare from the corresponding chloro or bromosilanes with dimethylamine.The resulting products are thermally stable and relatively volatile.Reaction with surface-hydrated silicon-dioxide preparations at a50-250 deg C for 170 h yields a dense grafted layer.However, with (dimethylamino)silanes having strongly polar substituents, a retreatment of the surface-modified silica seems to be necessary in order to attain maximum coverage.
