Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a four-neck flask provided with a stirrer, a reflux condenser, a dropping funnel and a thermometer were added 164 g (1.0 mole) of 3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propene and 100 ppm in terms of platinum metal of a 2 mass % isopropanol solution of chloroplatinic acid. Then 164 g (1.0 mole) of triethoxysilane was dripped over the course of five hours from a dropping funnel and was reacted while the mixture was heated and stirred at a temperature in the range from 50 to 60° C. After the reaction was completed, vacuum distillation was performed and 289 g (0.88 mole) of the desired product (3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl triethoxysilane) were obtained. The yield was 88%.
