Reaction Steps

Dichlorosilane (18.5 g, 0.18 mol) is condensed into a cold trap at −78° C. and dissolved in precooled xylene (200 ml). The temperature is −10° C. after the addition. First norbornene (34.5 g, 0.37 mol) and then the catalyst [COD]PtCl2 (1% solution in in CH2Cl2, 2.50 ml) are added, whereupon an exothermic reaction starts spontaneously. The temperature rises to 46° C. and an ice bath is used to reduce the temperature to 40° C. After 15 min, the temperature begins to fall again. According to GC (gas chromatography), about 50% of the norbornene is consumed. The reaction mixture is heated to 80° C. for 15 min, then held at 40° C. for a further 1.5 h. The conversion of the norbornene according to GC is >90%. The reaction mixture is fractionally distilled. The main fraction at b.p. 118° C./1 mbar consists of 49.8 g of dichlorodinorbornylsilane. Yield 94%. Purity 95.7% (GC).
