Silazane has been widely used in many fields since its initial discovery, and its preparation methods have undergone continuous exploration, improvement, and perfection, with a development process worth exploring behind it.
In the early days, the preparation methods of silazane were relatively simple and inefficient. Taking hexamethyldisilazane as an example, it was initially mainly prepared by reacting trimethylchlorosilane with ammonia gas. The specific operation is to slowly introduce ammonia gas into trimethylchlorosilane in an inert solvent environment, and the two undergo a chemical reaction to produce by-products such as hexamethyldisilazane and ammonium chloride. Subsequently, complex distillation and other separation and purification processes are carried out to obtain relatively pure products
However, this method faces problems such as difficulty in controlling reaction conditions, insufficient utilization of raw materials, and cumbersome subsequent separation and purification steps, which limit large-scale production.
With the continuous advancement of chemical processes, new preparation methods are gradually emerging. For example, the synthesis of hexamethyldisiloxane can be divided into direct and indirect methods. The direct method is to use hexamethyldisiloxane as raw material, add phosphoric acid, pentoxide and other substances, undergo esterification reaction, ammonification reaction, and then use a series of processes such as the catalytic effect of specific catalysts to finally produce the finished product. The indirect rule is to first react hexamethyldisiloxane with concentrated sulfuric acid to produce silicon sulfate, which then reacts with hydrogen chloride or ammonia gas to produce hexamethyldisilazane. These new methods have to some extent improved the conversion rate of raw materials, simplified some production processes, and gradually increased the yield of silazane.
For other silazane compounds such as tetramethyldisilazane, their preparation methods also have their own characteristics. For example, by reacting dimethylchlorosilane with ammonia to prepare tetramethyldisilazane, researchers continuously optimize the reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and material ratio to improve product quality and yield.
In today's era, with the deepening of the concept of green chemistry, the preparation methods of silazane are also developing towards a more environmentally friendly, efficient, and low-cost direction. Researchers are committed to developing new catalysts, exploring milder reaction conditions, reducing the generation of by-products, and striving to meet the growing market demand while reducing environmental impact, so as to continuously advance the preparation process of silazane to new heights.
