Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

566 g (10.1 mols) of sodium hydrogen sulfide together with 2,400 g of dimethylformamide were introduced into the apparatus described in Example 1. While stirring, 2,000 g (10.1 mols) of 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane were added to the contents of the flask over a period of 60 minutes, whereby the temperature of the contents of the flask rose to about 100° C. By application of additional heat the temperature was increased to 110° C. and maintained at this level. Samples of the reaction mixture were taken at intervals of 15 minutes and gas-chromatographically analyzed. After the elapse of 75 minutes of reaction time only traces of the provided silane compound could be detected in the reaction mixture. The distillative work-up of the raw reaction mixture gave a yield of 84% of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane.
