(Chloromethyl)trimethoxy- and (chloromethyl)dimethoxymethylsilane were reac
ted with N-sodium salts of imidazole, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, indole, benzimi
dazole, and phthalimide to obtain the corresponding (N-heterylmethyl)trimet
hoxy- and (N-heterylmethyl)dimethoxymethylsilanes. Trasetherification of (N
-heterylmethyl)trimethoxysilanes with triethanolamine gave previously unkno
wn 1-(N-heterylmethyl) silatranes. The first synthesis of poly(N-heterylmet
hyl)silsesquioxanes was performed by hydrolysis of (N-heterylmethyl)trimeth
oxysilanes.
