Could anyone look at the TMS reagent I've attached and be able to tell me what happens when it reacts with water?

PS: I know the TMS will become TMS-OH, I'm more interested to know what happens to the N=C=N fragment...

Thank you

It will form an urea derivative.

its a modified version of DCC, an amide coupling reagent.

Is this commercially available? This is interesting because DCC is pain to use in large scale reactions, in this case the by-product urea might be water soulble and easy to remove from organics.

Yes, it's commercially available, I purschased 5x 5g bottles of it from Acros I think.

It's quite cheap too, if I remember correctly.

Bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide shows also silylating properties
