A reaction mixture containing 10 gm (6×10-2 mole) of p-cyanobenzoyl chloride and 15 gm (1.25 mole equivalent) of 1,2-dichlorotetramethyldisilane was heated to 135° C. during which time the solution became homogeneous. A cocatalyst mixture containing 200 mg. bis(benzonitrile)palladiumdichloride (1 mole %) and 274 mg triphenylphosphine (2 mole %) was then introduced. Carbon monoxide gas evolution began immediately and the reaction was heated at 140° C. for 12 hours while dimethyldichlorosilane was continuously removed. Vacuum distillation gave 7 gm (60% isolated yield) of 4-chlorodimethylsilylbenzonitrile, bp. 93°/0.1 torr, m.p. 40°-43° C. The resulting chlorodimethylsilylbenzonitrile, in the form of a low melting high moisture sensitive solid was hydrolyzed to the corresponding 1,3-bis(4'-benzonitrile)tetramethyldisiloxane in the form of a colorless liquid. The identity of the disiloxane was further confirmed by its NMR and IR spectra.
