Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

361 mg Of 4-vinylbiphenyl and 394 mg of triethoxysilane were placed in a glass reaction tube and 0.0009 ml of cyclohexanoic acid was added. Then, 0.009 ml of a toluene solution of a 0-valent platinum complex of divinyltetramethyldisiloxane (platinum content: 0.0044 Wt. %) was added to this mixture. The reaction tube was sealed with Teflon tape and heated for 30 minutes in an oil bath at 50° C. When the tube contents were analyzed by GC-MS following cooling, the conversion rate of 4-vinylbiphenyl was 36% and para-phenylphenethyltriethoxysilane was produced at a yield of 32%. The yield of α-(4-biphenylyl) triethoxysilane was 3%.
