Title: Method for preparing bis-(silylalkyl)carbonate esters

Abstract

Carbonate esters of Formula (I): (R1)(R2)(R3)Si—R4—O—C(═O)—O—R4—Si(R1)(R2)(R3) are prepared by reaction of a silyl-substituted alcohol of Formula (II): (R1)(R2)(R3)Si—R4—OH with an activated carbonyl compound of Formula (III): C(═O)Z2 in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., an bicyclic amidine, a bicyclic guanidine, or a phosphazene) in an aprotic solvent. In Formulas (I) and (II) each of R1 and R2 independently is alkyl; R3 is alkyl or —X1—Si(R5)(R6)(R7); X1 is O or alkylene; R4 is alkylene; and each R5, R6, and R7 independently is alkyl. In Formula (III), Z is 1-N-imidazolyl or 1-N-succinimidyl. In some embodiments, the catalyst used in the methods described herein comprises at least one base selected from the group consisting of a bicyclic amidine and a bicyclic guanidine. The reaction proceeds readily under both bulk and continuous flow reactor conditions.
