Abstract:

A process whereby silanes of the general formula HSi(NRR. sup. I). sub. x (R. sup.

International Classification:

C07F 710

US Classification:

556420

Abstract:

A hydrogen bearing silyl carbamate of the general formula: HSiR. sub. n (O. sub. 2 CNR'R"). sub. 3-n is synthesized from hydrogen bearing aminosilane and gaseous carbon dioxide. The resulting hydrogen bearing silyl carbamate is novel in the single hydrogen attached to the silyl carbamate and represents a major new compound for creating novel compositions of matter.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A process whereby silanes of the general formula: HSi(NRR'). sub. x (R"). sub. 3-x wherein R, R' and R" are independently an aliphatic or aromatic, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical having from one to eight carbon atoms, inclusive and R and R' may also be hydrogen and where R" may also be alkoxy and where x has a value from one to three are reacted in the presence of a catalyst with alcohols in the stoichiometry of approximately one equivalent of alcohol per mole of silicon-nitrogen bond to give unexpectedly high yields of alkoxyhydridosilanes. In the reaction the silyl amine groups have been replaced by alkoxide groups without significant loss of the silicon-hydrogen group. Similar reactions in the absence of a catalyst give undesirably low yields of the corresponding alkoxy silanes and, in most cases, substantial loss of silyl hydrogen groups.
