Abstract:
Technological parameters of the ammonolysis of (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane to (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane have been determined. Influence of temperature, reaction time and the molar ratio of ammonia to (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane has been examined. Influence of the parameters has been described using the following factors describing the process: the degree of conversion of (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane and the selectivity of transformation to (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane in relation to consumed (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane.

Acid Halides to Amides: Aminolysis
In the first step of the aminolysis mechanism, the amine attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acyl chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the second step, the carbonyl group is re-formed with the elimination of a chloride...

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
