Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

267.6 g of a methanol solution of 22% sodium hydrogensulfide anhydride (1.05 mol) was put into an autoclave with an internal volume of 1 liter and the air was replaced by nitrogen. 0.3 mol of hydrogen sulfide was then blown in and the system was pressurized to 0.9 kgf/cm2 to oversaturate hydrogen sulfide. After heating the system up to 90° C., 198.7 g (1.0 mole) of 3-chloropropyltrimethoxy silane was dripped for 3 hours, and during the dripping, 0.1 mol of hydrogen sulfide was blown into the system so that the pressure in the system was kept at 3.5 kgf/cm2. After the dripping, the system was aged for 2 hour at 90° C., followed by cooling. By-product salts produced in the reaction were filtered away. The composition was analyzed by means of gas chromatography. 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxy silane was obtained with a yield of 93.5%.
