Reaction Steps

(γ-Cyanopropyl) phenyldichlorosilane was prepared by adding 67.1 grams (1.0 moles) of allylcyanide slowly to 177.1 grams (1.0 moles) of phenyldichlorosilane containing 10-4 moles of platinum as chloroplatinic acid at a temperature of 130° - 135° C. in a three-necked flask. After completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 16 hours. The pure (γ-cyanopropyl) phenyldichlorosilane was isolated by fractional distillation (b.p. 132° C./0.7 mm).
