Reaktionsschritte

A 50 ml Schlenk tube with a side arm was equipped with a Claisen adapter and stirring bar. A septum was wired to the Claisen adapter and a water condenser was also attached. Into the flask was placed 5 g (0.041 mol.) trimethoxysilane and 1 g triisopropylbenzene. To this solution was also added 30 ppm of H2PtCl6 (10 ml; 15 mg Pt/ml). The reaction mix was heated to only 120° C. in an oil bath and acetylene was bubbled into the reaction mix with a stainless steel needle at a rate of 50 cc/min with a back pressure maintained of 4-5 psig. After one hour the reaction was complete as monitored by GPC. The major product formed was 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane (76%). Vinyltrimethoxysilane (22%) and tetramethoxysilane (2%) were also produced.
