Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Norbornene (141 g, 1.50 mol) is dissolved in toluene (100 ml) and heated to 80° C. After the addition of the platinum catalyst ([COD]PtCl2, 70 mg), dimethylchlorosilane (169 g, 1.8 mol) is slowly added dropwise within 60 min, and the temperature rises to 98° C. Heating is continued at 80° C. for a further 1 h. Excess silane, unconverted norbornene and the solvent are distilled off at atmospheric pressure. The residue is fractionally distilled using a membrane pump vacuum. 255 g (93%) of a colorless liquid having b.p. of 120° C./10 mbar are obtained. Purity 99.7% (assessed by GC (gas chromatography)).
