Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

130 mg Of styrene and 217 mg of triethoxysilane were placed in a glass reaction tube and 0.0032 mg of methyltriacetoxysilane was added. Next, 0.0045 ml of a toluene solution of a 0-valent platinum complex of divinyltetramethyldisiloxane (platinum content: 0.04 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 styrene was 98% and phenethyltriethoxysilane was produced at a yield of 96%. The yield of (α-methylbenzyl) triethoxysilane was 0.7%.
