. These, upon reaction with dimethylcarbonate, are selectively converted into the methyl carbamate esters MeO(O) CNH(CH 2 ) Si(OMe) , MeO(O)CNH(CH 2 ) Si (OEt) and MeO(O)CNH(CH 2 ) 2 NH(CH 2 ) Si (OMe) respectively. Carbamate MeO(O)CNH (CH 2 ) Si(OEt) is accompanied by MeO(O)CNH (CH 2 ) Si(OMe) x (OEt)3 À x formed via transesterification of the triethoxysilyl group by the co-produced methanol. The carbamation process is very selective and N-methylated species are formed in trace amounts. Conversely, the ureidofunctional silane H 2 NC(O)NH (CH 2 ) 2 NH(CH 2 ) 3 Si(OMe) 3 shows a poor reactivity towards carbamation, and, under the above conditions, N-methyl derivatives are preferably formed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
