Phenylsilatrane
Phenylsilatrane is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organosilicon compounds. It is a member of the silatrane family, which are compounds containing a five-membered ring of one silicon atom, three nitrogen atoms, and one carbon atom.
Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
Phenylsilatrane is characterized by a silicon atom bonded to a phenyl group and a silatrane ring. The phenyl group is a functional group consisting of six carbon atoms bonded in a hexagonal planar ring, while the silatrane ring is a five-membered ring consisting of one silicon atom, three nitrogen atoms, and one carbon atom.
The compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a molecular weight of 209.29 g/mol. It has a boiling point of 310 °C and a melting point of -20 °C.
Synthesis[edit | edit source]
Phenylsilatrane can be synthesized through the reaction of phenyltrichlorosilane with ammonia in the presence of a base. The reaction proceeds through the formation of an intermediate ammonium salt, which is then cyclized to form the silatrane ring.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Phenylsilatrane is used in the synthesis of various organosilicon compounds. It is also used as a reagent in the preparation of silicon-containing polymers and in the synthesis of silicon-based catalysts.
Safety[edit | edit source]
Phenylsilatrane is a hazardous substance and should be handled with care. It can cause skin and eye irritation, and prolonged exposure can lead to serious health effects.
