Electrochemical oxygenation of diorganyldichlorosilanes: A novel route to generation of diorganylsilanones
Fattakhova,Jouikov,Voronkov
, p. 170 - 176 (2000)
Interaction of diorganyldichlorosilanes R2SiCl2 (R = Me, Et, Ph) with superoxide or peroxide anions, produced in situ by electroreduction of molecular oxygen, provides short-living diorganylsilanones R2Si=O. The latter undergo cyclization to give lower perorganylcyclosiloxanes (R2SiO)n, n = 3 or 4 and then insert to the molecules of these primary products to form higher cyclic oligomers. When the process is carried out in the presence of a reagent-trap for silanones (hexamethyldisiloxane, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane), the products of insertion of diorganylsilanones into the molecule-traps (Me3Si(OSiR2)nOSiMe3 with n ≥ 1, and (Me2SiO)3(R2SiO)m with m ≥ 1, respectively) were obtained.

Hydrosilanes and silicones, catalyzed with B(C6F5)3, may be used to silylate thiols or cleave disulfides giving silyl thio ethers. Alcohols were found to react faster than thiols or disulfides, while alkoxysilanes (the Piers-Rubinsztajn reaction) were slower such that the overall order of reactivity was found to be HO>HS>SS>SiOEt. The resulting silane and silicone-protected thio ethers produced from the sulfur-based functional groups could be cleaved to thiols using alcohols or mild acid with rates that depend on the steric bulk of the siloxane.

The dehydrogenation of organosilanes (RxSiH4?x) under the formation of Si?Si bonds is an intensively investigated process leading to oligo- or polysilanes. The reverse reaction is little studied. To date, the hydrogenolysis of Si?Si bonds requires very harsh conditions and is very unselective, leading to multiple side products. Herein, we describe a new catalytic hydrogenation of oligo- and polysilanes that is highly selective and proceeds under mild conditions. New low-valent nickel hydride complexes are used as catalysts and secondary silanes, RR′SiH2, are obtained as products in high purity.

-
Paragraph 0034; 0045, (2017/07/23)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method capable of simply producing a siloxane oligomer in a high yield when producing a siloxane oligomer by hydrolysis of a silicon halide compound and to provide a production method capable of selectively producing a linear or cyclic siloxane oligomer in particular. SOLUTION: The siloxane oligomer can be efficiently produced without performing any special agitation by providing two electrospray nozzles to oppose to each other in a medium liquid and in the medium liquid, electrostatically spraying in an electric field a first liquid sample containing a silicon halide compound from one nozzle and electrostatically spraying in an electric field a second liquid sample containing water from the other nozzle and allowing the liquid samples to collide and fuse with each other.

A dimethyl dichloro silane hydrolysate cracking method
-
Paragraph 0026; 0028, (2017/02/24)
The invention discloses a method for splitting dimethyl dichlorosilane hydrolysate. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out load reaction onto strong-basicity macroporous anion exchange resin, potassium hydroxide, potassium trimethylsilanolate and [bmim]BF4 ionic liquid to obtain a composite catalyst after the reaction is ended; adding dimethyl dichlorosilane hydrolysate into a splitting kettle to obtain a ring-body mixture by splitting and re-arranging solvent oil, the composite catalyst and the hydrolysate; and washing with water to remove high-boiling point residues and low-boiling point residues to obtain products such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane D4, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane.
One-Step Synthesis of Siloxanes from the Direct Process Disilane Residue
Neumeyer, Felix,Auner, Norbert
supporting information, p. 17165 - 17168 (2016/11/23)
The well-established Müller–Rochow Direct Process for the chloromethylsilane synthesis produces a disilane residue (DPR) consisting of compounds MenSi2Cl6?n(n=1–6) in thousands of tons annually. Technologically, much effort is made to retransfer the disilanes into monosilanes suitable for introduction into the siloxane production chain for increase in economic value. Here, we report on a single step reaction to directly form cyclic, linear, and cage-like siloxanes upon treatment of the DPR with a 5 m HCl in Et2O solution at about 120 °C for 60 h. For simplification of the Si?Si bond cleavage and aiming on product selectivity the grade of methylation at the silicon backbone is increased to n≥4. Moreover, the HCl/Et2O reagent is also suitable to produce siloxanes from the corresponding monosilanes under comparable conditions.
Silanones and silanethiones from the reactions of transient silylenes with oxiranes and thiiranes in solution. The direct detection of diphenylsilanethione

The transient silylenes SiMe2 and SiPh2 react with cyclohexene oxide (CHO), propylene oxide (PrO), and propylene sulfide (PrS) in hydrocarbon solvents to form products consistent with the formation of the corresponding transient silanones and silanethiones, respectively. Laser flash photolysis studies show that these reactions proceed via multistep sequences involving the intermediacy of the corresponding silylene-oxirane or -thiirane complexes, which are formed with rate constants close to the diffusion limit in all cases and exhibit UV absorption spectra similar to those of the corresponding complexes with the nonreactive O- and S-donors, tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydrothiophene. The SiMe2-PrO and SiPh2-PrO complexes both exhibit lifetimes of ca. 300 ns, and are longer-lived than the corresponding complexes with CHO, which are both in the range of 230-240 ns. On the other hand, the silylene-PrS complexes are considerably shorter-lived and vary with silyl substituent; the SiMe2-PrS complex decays with the excitation laser pulse (i.e., τ ≥ 25 ns), while the SiPh2-PrS complex exhibits τ = 48 ± 3 ns. The decay of the SiPh2-PrS complex affords a long-lived transient product exhibiting λ max ≈ 275 nm, which has been assigned to diphenylsilanethione (Ph2Si=S) on the basis of its second order decay kinetics and absolute rate constants for reaction with methanol, tert-butanol, acetic acid, and n-butyl amine, for which values in the range of 1.4 × 108 to 3.2 × 109 M-1 s-1 are reported. The experimental rate constants for decay of the SiMe2-epoxide and -PrS complexes indicate free energy barriers (ΔG?) of ca. 8.5 and ≥7.1 kcal mol-1 for the rate-determining steps leading to dimethylsilanone and -silanethione, respectively, which are compared to the results of DFT (B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)) calculations of the reactions of SiH 2 and SiMe2 with oxirane and thiirane. The calculations predict a stepwise C-O cleavage mechanism involving singlet biradical intermediates for the silylene-oxirane complexes, and a concerted mechanism for silanethione formation from the silylene-thiirane complexes, in agreement with earlier ab initio studies of the SiH2-oxirane and -thiirane systems.
Effect of catalyst structure on the reaction of α-methylstyrene with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane
De Vekki,Skvortsov
body text, p. 762 - 777 (2009/09/26)
Reaction of α-methylstyrene with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane in the presence of the complexes of platinum(II), palladium(II) and rhodium(I) is explored. It is established that in the presence of platinum catalyst predominantly occurs hydrosilylation of α-methylstyrene leading to formation of β-adduct, on palladium catalysts proceeds reduction of α-methylstyrene, on rhodium catalysts both the processes take place. In the reaction mixture proceeds disproportion and dehydrocondensation of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane that leads to formation of long chain linear and cyclic siloxanes of general formula HMe2Si(OSiMe2) n H and (-OSiMe2-)m (n = 2-6, m = 3-7), respectively. Platinum catalysts promotes formation of linear siloxanes, while both rhodium and palladium catalysts afford linear and cyclic siloxanes as well. Structure of intermediate metallocomplexes is studied.

experimental part, p. 6856 - 6861 (2009/04/18)
Matrix isolation IR spectroscopy has been used to study the vacuum pyrolysis of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3), octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and decamethyl cyclopentasiloxane (D5), and the results interpreted in the context of various kinetic models. In particular, it is shown that the significant pyrolysis products - which include CH3, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H 6 and SiO - may be satisfactorily accounted for by radical reactions involving dimethylsiloxane (D1), and estimates are made of the various chain lengths for the proposed reactions based on a range of ambient conditions. the Owner Societies.
