Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

All glassware and syringes were oven dried at 110° C. overnight. 1,5-Hexadiene and dimethylchlorosilane were distilled under nitrogen prior to use. A three necked flask fitted with reflux condenser, septum, magnetic stirrer, nitrogen inlet and outlet connected to a paraffin oil bubbler was charged with 1,5-hexadiene (8.2 g, 100 mmole) and dimethylchlorosilane (4.7 g, 50 mmole). A platinum catalyst solution (3.5% Pt in xylene) (100ppm) was added to the reaction mixture, maintained at 50° C., with a syringe through the septum. The mixture was refluxed for several hours. The rate of reaction was followed by infrared spectroscopy. At the end of the reaction the desired product distilling at 56° C./0.32 mm was obtained in 56% yield.
