Abstract
The relative basicity of fifteen methylethoxysilylalkylamines of the type (CH3)3-m(C2H5O)m.Si(CH2)nNH2 in acetone has been studied by potentiometric titration. For n 1 the basicity increases with increasing m, which is likely due to increasing electronic interaction of the oxygen of acetone with the silicon of silylalkylamines. The basicity of silylmethylamines (n = 1) changes nonsystematically, probably as a consequence of the competing action of opposite effects.
