Description

(54) PROCESS FOR SILYLATION (71) We, TH GOLDSCHMIDT AG, a German Body Corporate, of Goldschmidtstrasse 100, 4300 Essen, Germany, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to a process for the silylation of compounds possessing at least one active hydrogen atom, by reaction with compounds which contain the =Si-NH-Si= grouping.
The book "Neue Methoden der praparativen organischen Chemie" (New Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry"), volume 5, Verlag Chemie, 1967, page 208, discloses that the silylation of, for example, L-leucine can be carried out with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid at the reflux temperature (bath temperature 130 to 140"C) over a period of 30 minutes.
The journal "Journal of Organic Chemistry", 25, (1960), page 598, describes the silylation of pyrrole with hexamethyldisilazane using ammonium sulphate as the catalyst, at a temperature of 1100C and with a reaction time of 6 hours.
The same information, and yet further examples of suitable catalysts, are to be found in German Offenlegungsschrift 2,507,882. This relates to a process for the manufacture of bis-(trimethylsilyl)-urea by reaction of urea with hexamethyldisilazane, characterised in that the reaction of urea with hexamethyldisilazane is carried out in the presence of catalytically active amounts of salts of ammonia, basic amino compounds which only contain active hydrogen in an RN-bond, whilst the nitrogen valencies not satisfied by hydrogen are satisfied by carbon, or quaternary ammonium hydroxides, with acids which in dilute aqueous solution at 25"C have an acid dissociation constant of at least 10-4.
A feature common to all processes of the prior art is that they take place at an elevated temperature and require substantial reaction times. This makes it difficult to carry out a mild silylation, especially of heat-sensitive compounds.
It can be assumed that the relatively low reactivity of hexamethyldisilazane is attributable to the steric hindrance of the SiN-bond. This accords with Noll "Chemie und Technologie der Silicone" ("Chemistry and Technology of the Silicones"), 1968, page 303, which indicates that hexamethyldisilazane only decomposes to the extent of 10% on 4 hours' exposure to boiling water.
The reaction of hexamethyldisilazane with compounds containing active hydrogen can of course also additionally be made difficult if the particular configuration of the reactants hinders the reaction. Such is the case, for example, for tertiary butanol.
The silylation reaction which takes place with hexamethyldisilazane takes place analogously with other compounds which contain the Si-NH-Si grouping. Such silylating agents are, in addition to hexamethyldisilazane, compounds such as tetramethyldimethoxydisilazane, dimethyltetramethoxydisilazane, octamethylcyclotetrasilazane and octamethyltrisilazane.
Surprisingly, it has not been found according to this invention that certain catalysts exceptionally accelerate the silylation reaction.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for the silylation of a compound possessing at least one active hydrogen atom, which process comprises reaction said compound with an organosilicon compound which contains the groupSi-NH-Siin the presence of 0.01 to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the organo-silicon compound, of a catalyst which is an anionic compound which in an aqueous solution of at most 1% strength by weight lowers the surface tension of water to a value of < 50 mN m-l, or is a water-insoluble derivative of such an anionic compound, and which is: (a) a monoester or diester of sulphuric acid, (b) an ammonium or substituted ammonium salt of a monoester of sulphuric acid, (c) a fluoroalkylsulphonic acid, alkylsulphonic acid, alkylarylsulphonic acid or an ammonium or substituted ammonium salt of one of these acids, or (d) an alkyl or trialkylsilyl ester of an acid in group (c).
The catalysts used in the process of the present invention must therefore conform to both structural requirements (groups (a) to (d)) and to the specified surface tension lowering properties. Certain compounds which are usable as the catalyst are soluble in water, others are not. The surface tension lowering test is carried out using an aqueous solution containing 1% by weight of the soluble catalyst when the catalyst is soluble to the extent of 1% by weight or more in water. If the catalyst is not soluble to the extent of 1% by weight, the lowered surface tension is measured at saturation concentration. Certain derivatives usable as catalyst are insoluble, for example, the polyvalent metal salts of the acids mentioned in groups (a) to (d), such as the alkaline earth metal salts or salts of Group 3 metals of the Periodic Table. A particular example of such a derivative is calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid.
By carrying out the silylation in accordance with this invention the reaction can take place at substantially lower temperatures and accordingly it becomes possible, due to the use of mild silylating conditions, also to silylate sensitive natural products, such as penicillin and alkaloids. At such lower temperatures, longer reaction times will probably be necessary.
The catalysis manifests itself particularly successfully if, by virtue of their structure, the catalysts are compatible with the system to be catalysed, inasmuch as, for example, they are soluble therein or become soluble therein during the reaction. However, this is not an essential condition.
A particularly preferred process is one in which catalysts which lower the surface tension to a value of < 38 mN m , or their water-insoluble derivatives, are used.
It is particularly surprising that the silylation reaction, which in most cases takes place in an anhydrous medium, is catalysed by compounds where a selection criterion is the extent to which the compounds lower the surface tension of water, or by derivatives which are based on these compounds and are water-insoluble. There is no obvious connection between the catalysis and the structure of the compounds.
Of the esters of sulphuric acid in groups (a) and (b), particularly active are those wherein the ester group is derived from an alkanol containing an organo-silicon radical.
A particularly preferred example of a catalyst of group (a) or (b) is an organo-silicon compound which contains a radical of formula:
in which R is an alkyl or aryl radical, preferably methyl, R' is an alkylene radical with 3 or 4 carbon atoms and X is an ammonium or substituted ammonium radical preferably an ammonium ion, or is an alkyl or a trimethylsilyl radical.
A catalyst wherein the anion has the structure
is particularly active.
Examples of suitable monoesters or diesters of sulphuric acid (group (a)) are CH3-(CH2)7-OSQH CH3-(CH2)11-OSO3H CH3-(CH2)17-OSO3H
Suitable salts of the monoesters of sulphuric acid group (b)) are ammonium and substituted ammonium salts for example, CH3-(CH2)13-OSO3 . NH4
The two latter compounds can be prepared in accordance with German Patent Specification 1,157,789 and German Patent Specification 1,179,937.
Particularly suitable catalysts of group (c) are dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid, alkylsulphonic acids with 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, fluoroalkylsulphonic acids with 4 to 16 carbon atoms and sulphonic acids modified by an organo-silicon structure, as well as the ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of these compounds.
Examples of such compounds are: C8Hl,SO3H C14H29S 3H Cl8H37S 3H
where X has the meaning already indicated.
Compounds of this type can be prepared in accordance with French Patent Specification 1,198,096.
The alkyl esters and trialkylsilyl esters, especially the trimethylsilyl esters, of the acids mentioned in (c), have also proved particularly useful (group (d)). Examples of such compounds are:
C14H29SO3-Si(CH3)3 C8Hl7SO3-Si(CH3)3 The high activity of the catalysts employed according to the invention manifest itself in the fact that, for example, hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of the catalysts reacts spontaneously with water even at room temperature. This must be regarded as surprising if it is borne in mind that according to the passage, cited above, in the book "Chemie und Technologie der Silicone" ("Chemistry and Technology of the Silicones" reaction only takes place to the extent of 10% even after 4 hours' treatment of hexamethyldisilazane with boiling water, in the absence of a catalyst. The catalysts known from the prior art are also incapable of allowing a spontaneous reaction to take place.
The technical advance achieved by the process according to the invention is documented in more detail, and explained, in the Examples which follow, by comparing the activity of catalysts of the prior art with the catalysts to be employed in the process according to the invention.
Example 1 1.61 g of dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid are added to 148.0 g of t-bùtanol (2.0 mols) and 161.0 g of hexamethyldisilazane (1.0 mol) in a 500 ml round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser, drying tube and paddle stirrer. At a reaction temperature of 20"C, 81.7% of the t-butanol had been converted to trimethyl-t-butoxysilane after a reaction time of 4.5 hours. The conversion was determined by gas chromatography (boiling point 103.5"C/760 mm Hg).
Comparative ' Example 2 By carrying out Example 1 without a catalyst, only 1% conversion was achieved fter the same reaction time of 4.5 hours at 200C.
Example 3 120.2 g of isopropanol (2.0 mols) are reacted, in an apparatus as described in Example 1, with 161 g of hexamethyldisilazane (1.0 mol) at 20"C in the presence of 1;61 g of dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid trimethylsilyl ester. After a reaction time of 105 minutes, 75% of the isopropanol had been converted to trimethylisopropoxysilane.
Comparative Example 4 In a comparative experiment without catalyst, 2.6% of trimethylisopropoxysilane were found after carrying out the reaction in the same way as in Example 3.
Examples 1 and 5 to 11 are shown in tabular form. The silylation of t-butanol by hexamethyldisilazane at 200C, with a reaction time of 4.5 hours and a catalyst concentration of, in each case, 1.0% by weight (= 0.74 g, based on t-butanol) was used as an example, 74 g of t-butanol (1 mol) being reacted with 80.5 g of hexamethyldisilazane. The catalyst activity follows from the yield achieved.
The surface tensions were determined by the Lecomte du Noisy ring pull-off method.
(The method is described, for example, in: Goldschmidt informiert, 2/74, No. 29, pages 10 and 12 (1974)).

In order to compare the catalyst activity, the reaction time tR needed, in each case, in order to detect half the amountof NH3 liberated during the silylation is determined; alternatively, in the case of the less active catalysts of the prior art, the amount of NH3 formed during the reaction time tR is determined.

The reaction takes place simultaneously and exothermically, the ammonia formed being determined in order to measure the rate of reaction. The conversion is 50% after 4 minutes and 93% after 6 minutes.

Comparative Example 20 Using the same conditions as in Example 19, but without addition of the dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid catalyst, 8.3% conversion to :methyltriethoxysilane is achieved.
