Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethoxisilane (compound 2, 0.6 mmol) instead of pentamethyldisiloxane was used for the same reaction to Example 14A. 1H-NMR analysis with durene as an internal standard material without isolation of products showed that (4,4-diphenylbuthyl) triethoxysilane (compound 3) was produced with the yield of 85%, and 1,1-diphenylbutane (compound 4) was produced with the yield of 6%.
