3-(Methylphenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane → Bis[{2-(methylphenyl)propyl}dichlorosilyl]hexane

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 20.8 g (0.089 mole) 3-(methylphenyl)-1,1-dichloro-1-silabutane and 90 μl of 1% chloroplatinic acid solution in isopropanol were placed and then 3.0 g (0.036 mole) of 1, 5-hexadiene was added dropwise for 3 min. The solution was reacted for 13 hours at reflux under the dry nitrogen atmosphere. Vacuum distillation gave 15.2 g (189°-191° C./0.03 mmHg) of bis[{2-(methylphenyl)propyl}dichlorosilyl]hexane in 77.2% yield.
