Reaction Steps

Methallyl chloride (0.85 M) was added to a solution of potassium t-butoxide (0.89 M) and furfuryl alcohol (0.89 M) in dimethyl sulfoxide (0.5 L). The exothermic reaction (~95° C.) was allowed to cool to room temperature over 2 hr and then added to 1.5 L water and extracted with 0.5 L ether. Crude product (125 g) was isolated from the ether phase and distilled at ~20 mm at 127° C. to yield 110 g (0.72 M) of methallyl 2-methylfurfuryl ether. Hydrosilylation of the methallyl group was accomplished by mixing with 0.93 M of dichloromethylsilane, 0.2 g of SIP6831.0 in xylene and heating to a gentle reflux. The reaction proceeded to completion with a brief vigorous reflux.
