Reaktionsschritte

In a three-neck flask under argon and while being stirred mechanically, 11.7 g (480 mmol) of magnesium chips and some iodine crystals in 40 ml of a solution A (55% diethyl ether, 45% tetrahydrofuran) are mixed together. Then, a solution of 80.0 g (436 mmol) of bromostyrene, dissolved in 210 ml of solvent mixture A, is slowly added in drops, and thus a continuous exothermic reaction is achieved. The solution is stirred under reflux. After the end of the exothermic reaction, the reaction mixture is cooled to 2° C., and then 155.5 g (872 mmol) of methyltriethoxysilane in 160 ml of dry diethyl ether is added; the temperature must not exceed 15° C. After the end of the substitution reaction, stirring is continued at room temperature overnight. Approximately 200 ml of n-heptane is then added, thus the magnesium salts precipitate. The latter are filtered off, 9.7·10−2 g (0.44 mmol) of 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone is added to the filtrate, the solvent is drawn off in a rotary evaporator, and the residue is distilled in fractionated form under vacuum. 72.5 g (307 mmol) of the product was obtained with a yield: 70.3%, and a boiling point of 65-66° C.
