2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene → Dimethylthexylsilyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 ml (0.92 mol) of dimethylchlorosilane and 3.8 g (0.028 mol) or aluminium chloride are introduced into a 500 ml three-necked flask with a reflux condenser and dropping funnel. Within 1 hour, 109.5 ml (0.92 mol) of tetramethylethylene are added dropwise. The reaction temperature is maintained in the range from 25° to 30° C. by external cooling. After 4 hours, undissolved aluminium chloride is filtered off from the reaction solution which is then distilled.
