Preparation | 3-(tetrahydrofuryloxypropyl) methyltrisiloxane is prepared as follows: To a 1 liter 3-neck flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a tank thermometer, a dry ice condenser and a charging funnel Add 129.3g allypropoxymethyltetrahydrofuran. The flask was heated to 80°C, 8.1g of bis (trimethylsiloxy) methylsilane was added, and then 0.5g of Karstedt catalyst with a Pt concentration of 2% was added. Heat release was observed and additional 204.5g of bis (trimethylsiloxy) methylsilane was added while maintaining the temperature between 80 °-110°C. After the addition, 0.25g Karstedt catalyst was added, and the mixture was heated to 90°C and kept for 1 hour. The mixture was distilled through a short Vigreux column. 3-(tetrahydrofuryloxypropyl) methyltrisiloxane (GC purity 98.7%) was obtained, the yield was 84%, the boiling point was 132-6 ℃/2mm, and the density was 0.9250 at 25 ℃. |
