Procedure

The process described in Example 2 is repeated, except that 1.5 liters of a mixture prepared from isomeric pentenes (10 percent by weight of 2-methylbutene-1, 82 percent by weight of 2-methylbutene-2 and 8 percent by weight of pentenes having an undetermined structure) and 10 ml of the catalytic solution are substituted for the trichlorosilane, allyl chloride and catalytic solution. About 98.6 percent of the trichlorosilane employed is reacted and 14.5 mol percent per hour of pentyltrichlorosilane is obtained. The product's purity is 92.5 percent by weight as determined by gas chromatography.
