Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

224 mg Of octene-1, 328 mg of triethoxysilane, and 56 mg of toluene were placed in a glass reaction tube and 0.01 ml of acetic anhydride was added to this mixture. Then, 0.001 ml of a toluene solution of a 0-valent platinum complex of divinyltetramethyldisiloxane (platinum content: 0.4 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 contents were analyzed by GC-MS following cooling, the conversion rate of octene-1 was 16.5%, and n-octyltriethoxysilane was produced at a yield of 14.3%.
