The synthesis of compounds with a silicon—nitrogen bond are well known hy the nucleophilic suhstitution reaction of chlorosi-lane using alkali metal amide or amine in the presence of a HCl scavenger (1). 

Aminosilanes are valuable compounds in modem silicon chemistry, not only as alternative precursors for chemical vapor deposition of Si3N4, but also because of their many interesting chemical features. The amino groups can be easily attached to silicon by the reaction of halosilanes with amines or alkali metal amides using standard literature procedures [I ].
