Silicon-containing monomers with different func-
tional groups are used in the synthesis of heat and cor-
rosion resistant polymers, as well as modifiers for vari-
ous polymers to improve their operational character-
istics [1–3]. The goal of the present work was to
synthesize silicon-containing monomers functionalized
with aldehyde groups, which may be used for the pre-
paration of polymers with enhanced heat and frost
resistance and tensile strength as compared to carboxy-
containing polymers [3].
The procedure developed by us for the synthesis of
such monomers is based on the reaction of trichloro-
(phenyl)silane with hydroxy aldehydes. The reaction
of trichloro(phenyl)silane with β-hydroxybutyralde-
hyde gave tris-butanal I (Scheme 1).

A solution of 17.0 mL (0.1 mol) of trichloro(phenyl)-
silane in 10 mL of toluene was added in small portions
in a nitrogen atmosphere to a solution of 36.6 g
(0.32 mol) of β-hydroxybutyraldehyde and 37 mL
(0.3 mol) of triethylamine in 20 mL of toluene. The
progress of the reaction was monitored by IR spectros-
copy, following disappearance of the OH absorption
band. When the reaction was complete (after 2–3 h),
the precipitate was filtered off, the filtrate was evapo-
rated under reduced pressure to a volume of 5 mL, and
10 mL of hexane was added. The jelly-like material
was dried under reduced pressure at 50°C. Yield 46.6 g
