Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 54039278, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

All the dehydrated tetrahydrofuran solution containing dimethylphenyldimethylsilane was placed in a 1-liter flask equipped with an Allihn condenser, thermometer, and stirrer, and 20 ml of water deionized by ion exchange and 0.3 g of a 5 wt % palladium-on-active carbon catalyst (the quantity of metallic palladium: 0.023 wt % of dimethylphenyldimethylsilane) were added with stirring at room temperature: 23° C. Then, hydrogen gas began evolving immediately. Measurement with a wet type of gas meter attached to the outlet of the Allihn condenser indicated that 9.75 l (0.394 mole) at 23° C. of hydrogen gas evolved until the evolution ceased 2.5 hours after the initiation of reaction. The reaction product mixture was filtered to remove the palladium catalyst, and also the lower aqueous layer was removed, giving a tetrahydrofuran solution of dimethylphenyldimethylhydroxysilane.
