Reaction Steps

A 1 L, 3-neck flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, pot thermometer and condenser was charged with 3,3-diallyloxymethyl-5-oxa-tridecane (200 g) prepared in Example 4. After heating to 50-60° C., 30 ml of trichlorosilane was added followed by 1 ml of 2.5% chloroplatinic acid solution. Once initiation was observed, a total of 178.8 g of trichlorosilane was added at a rate to maintain reaction temperature at 70-100° C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was maintained at 80-90° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was distilled. The product was isolated in 60% yield, b.p. 220-222 C./0.9 mm; density 1.135; 1HNMR (C6D6): 0.90(m, 6H), 1.13(m, 4H), 1.26(m, 10H), 1.58(m, 8H), 3.10(t, 4H), 3.32(s, 2H), 3.38(t, 4H).
