Structure of the compound purported to be NN-bis(chloromethyldimethylsilyl)-acetamide: X-ray crystal structure analysis of the novel five-membered oxygen-, silicon-, and nitrogen-containing heterocycle (O–Si)-chloro-[(N-chlorodimethylsilylacetamido)methyl]dimethylsilane

Abstract

The compound erroneously reported as NN-bis(chloromethyldimethylsilyl)acetamide has been proven by single-crystal X-ray analysis to be (O–Si)-chloro-[(N-chlorodimethylsilylacetamido)methyl]dimethylsilane.
