Abstract

A process for silylating an organic or organosilicon compound having alcoholic hydroxyl groups or silicon bonded hydroxyl groups comprises contacting the compound with an N,N'-bis(triorganosilyl)alkylene- diamine. Useful in the protective silylation of hydroxyl groups during the synthesis of certain biologically active substances.

Description

SPECIFICATION Silylation process This invention relates to a process for the silylation of organic and organosilicon compounds.
It is known that silyl groups may be transferred from certain organo silicon compounds to other organosilicon compounds or to organic compounds having one or more reactive hydrogen atoms in the molecule. This so-called silylation process has been employed for a number of years on a commercial scale, especially in the synthesis of pharmaceutical products. Organosilicon compounds which have been employed as silylating agents in such a process include the trialkylchorosilanes, for example trimethylchlorosilane, and certain nitrogen-containing organosilicon compounds, hexamethyldisilazane being one of those most commonly used. However, although the presently used silylating agents perform satisfactorily there has been a continuing search for silylating agents having the advantage of improved efficiency.
According to this invention there is provided a process for silylating an organic or organosilicon compound which comprises contacting an organic or an organosilicon compound having in the molecule one or more carbon-bonded alcoholic OH groups or silicon-bondedOH groups with a silylating agent which is a compound having the general formula (R3Si) NH (CH2)xNH (SiR3) wherein each R represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a vinyl group or a phenyl group and x is an integer of from 2 to 6 inclusive.
In the general formula of the silylating agents employed according to the process of this invention R may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, vinyl or phenyl and x may be an integer from 2 to 6 inclusive. Generally, in the practice of the invention the R groups are preferably methyl.
Examples of the operative silylating agents are therefore, N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethylenediamine, N,N'-bis(dimethylphenylsilyl) tetramethylenediamine, N,N'-bis(butyldimethylsilyl)pentamethylenediamine and N,N'-bis (trimethylsilyl)hexamethylenediamine.
The silylating agents employed in the process of this invention may be prepared by the reaction of a triorganochlorosilane R3SiCI and an alkylene diamine.
Any organic or organosilicon compound having at least one alcoholic -OH bonded directly to a carbon atom or a hydroxyl group bonded to a silicon atom may be silylated according to the process of this invention. Examples of such organic and organosilicon compounds are alcohols e.g. isopropanol, n-hexanol, octadecanol and benzyl alcohol, glycols and polyglycols e.g.
ethylene glycol, hexylene glycol and hydroxyterminated poly(alkylene oxides), phenols e.g.
phenol, m-cresol, p-xylenol, pyrogallol and 2,6-disecbutylphenol and silanols and siloxanols e.g.
diphenylsilanediol and 1 ,3-dimethyl-1, 3 diphenyldisiloxanediol-1 ,3. The process of this invention finds particular application in the silylation of certain biologically active substances or the precursors thereof, a procedure which is carried out on the commercial scale in connection with the synthesis and modification of pharmaceutical products. For example, the process of this invention may be employed to effect the protective silylation of hydroxyl groups during the synthesis of prostanoids wherein the Ci 1-OH group of cyclopentenone system may be silylated and coupled with an organometallic hydroxyl group-containing side chain in which the hydroxyl group is also silylated.
In the performance of the process of this invention the silylating agent and the compound to be silylated may be employed in widely varying proportions, depending on the degree of silylation required. When the maximum degree of silylation is sought it is preferred to employ the silylating agent in a stoichiometric excess of silyl groups to -OH groups.
The silylation reaction may be carried out in the presence or absence of a diluent. Diluents which may be employed include inert organic solvents, for example toluene, xylene, benzene and dimethyl formamide. Some reaction will in many cases take place spontaneously on mixing the reactants at normal temperatures, e.g. 40 to 1 500C may be employed to expedite the reaction and/or facilitate recovery of the reaction product.
The following examples illustrate the invention.
Example 1 N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethylenediamine (1.02g; 0.005 mole), 2,6-di-secbutylphenol (2.06g; 0.01 mole) and dry dichloromethane (5 ml) were mixed together and maintained at 300C for 30 minutes.
Examination of the mixture by gas-liquid chromotography after this time had elapsed showed that 66.4% by weight of the phenol reactant had been converted to the silylated derivative 2,6-di-secbutylphenoxytrimethylsilane.
The experiment was repeated employing the same reaction time and conditions except that the N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethylenediamine was replaced in turn by known silylating agents. The percentage conversions obtained were as follows: Hexamethyldisilazane 4.2 Hexamethyldisilazane/trimethyl chlorosilane (equimolar mixture) 7.2 Trimethylsilyldiethylamine 20.9 N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)hexa methylenediamine 20.0 N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 9.0 Example 2 Benzyl alcohol (5.4g; 0.05 mol), N,N'-bis (trimethylsilyl)ethylenediamine (6.129; 0.03 mol) and dry dichloromethane (50 ml) were refluxed together for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled and subjected to fractional distiilation under vacuum to yield 7.8 g (86%) of the trimethylsilyl- ether of benzyle alcohol.
Example 3 Hexan-1-ol (5.19; 0.05 mol), N,N'-bis (trimethylsilyl) hexamethylenediamine (7.8g; 0.03 mol) and dry dichloromethane (5Oml) were refluxed together for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled and fractional distillation under vacuum yielded 3.99 (45%) of the trimethylsilylether of hexan-1 -ol.
