1,5-Hexadiene → 5-Hexenyldimethylchlorosilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Hexenyldimethylchlorosilane was prepared by combining 1,5-hexadiene (164 g) and 0.05 g of platinum complex ##STR3## in a flask equipped with a condenser, addition-funnel and a thermometer. Dimethylchlorosilane (92 g) was added at such a rate that the pot temperature did not rise above 40° C. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 48 hours. The product was isolated in 68% yield by distillation under reduced pressure (bp 39°-40° C./2.2 mm Hg).
