The amino-di-tert-butyl-silanol (1) crystallizes as a dimer. It forms sodium-and potassium aminosilanolates (2, 3) in the solid state, which crystallize as hexagonal prisms. In the reaction of the alkali-aminosilanolates with halosilanes, 1-amino-1, 3-disiloxanes (Me3C) 2Si (NH2) O SiRR′ R ″are obtained;(4: R= R′= CMe3, R ″= H; 5: R ″= Cl; 6: R= Me, R′= CMe3, R ″= F; 7: R= R′= NMeSiMe3, R ″= F; 8: R= R′= NCHMe2SiMe3, R ″= ...
