Reaction Steps

In the same reactor, a 0.01 g carbonylchlorohydridebis(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium(II) was added and then, in the following order: 1.84 mL toluene and 0.43 g styrene, were added to a mixture of raw [(tri(isopropyl)silyl)ethynyl]methylphenylvinylsilane and the inactive Step-1 catalyst at a room temperature and under inert gas conditions. The reaction mixture was heated at 90° C. for twenty four hours. Product was separated under the purification conditions of Example I. The product, [(tri(isopropyl)silyl)ethynyl]-methylphenyl-[(E)-styryl]silane, was obtained with a total yield of 85% pure product, in the form of an oily liquid, light yellow in color.
