Alkylation of 2-methylimidazole with iodomethylsilanes

Аннотация

2-Methyl-1,3-bis[(1-methylsilolan-1-yl)methyl]-1H-imidazolium triiodide, 1,3-bis{[dimethyl-(phenyl)silyl]methyl}-2-methyl-1H-imidazolium iodide and triiodide, and cyclic 3,3,5,5,10-pentamethyl-4-oxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3,5-disilabicyclo[5.2.1]deca-1(10),8-diene iodide were synthesized by solvent-free reactions of 2-methyl-1H-imidazole with 1-(iodomethyl)-1-methylsilolane, (iodomethyl)(dimethyl)phenylsilane, and ethynyl(iodomethyl)(dimethyl)silanes, respectively, in the absence of base catalyst.
