Abstract—The siloxane bond splitting reaction in hexamethyldisiloxanes PhSiСlnF3–n was studied.
DOI: 10.1134/S1070363209060073
Many examples of the siloxane bond splitting reac-
tion induced by organylhalosilanes have been studied.
As a rule, they proceed in the presence of a catalysts,
at high temperature (200–250°С or higher) or in-
creased pressure [1].
phenyl-3-chloro-3-fluorosiloxane having an asymmetric
silicon atom in 55–60% yield:
PhSiCl2F + (Me3Si)2O
→ PhSiClF(OSiMe3) + Me3SiCl.
(3)
The formation of 7–15% 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexamethyl-3-
phenyl-3-fluorosiloxane is observed after 24–48 h at
25°С.
We investigated the reaction of splitting of the
siloxane bond in hexamethyldisiloxanes PhSiСlnF3–n
(n = 0–3). The mixed phenyl(chloro)fluorosilanes with
n = 1–2 were obtained by disproportionation of PhSiF3
with PhSiСl3 in the presence of aluminum halides.
PhSiFCl(OSiMe3) + (Me3Si)2O
→ PhSiF(OSiMe3)2 + Me3SiCl.
(4)
PhSiF3 + PhSiCl3 → PhSiClF2 + PhSiCl2F.

When performing the reaction of HMDS with the
mixture of phenylfluorochlorosilanes PhSiСlnF3–n (n =
1–2) (in the ratio of 1:1:1 at 25°С ) it was found that
PhSiF2Cl reacts at least 4-5 times faster than PhSiFCl2,
and that the reactivity of PhSiFCl2 in this reaction is
higher than that of PhSiFCl(OSiMe3) also 4–5 times;
apparently, in the latter case it is due to steric effect of
the trimethylsiloxy group.
We have found that at room temperature hexa-
methyldisiloxane (HMDS) is not split by phenyltri-
chlorosilane. In contrast, phenyltrifluorosilane under
the same conditions causes the rupture of the ≡Si–O–Si≡
group in HMDS in 6–8 h [2].
Noteworthy, phenyl(chloro)difluorosilane (PCDFS)
splits the Si–O bond practically quantitatively in 30–60
min to afford trimethylchlorosilane and 1,1,1-tri-
methyl-3-phenyl-3,3-difluorosiloxane by the follow-
ing scheme:
No experimental evidences on participation of
PhSiF3 in splitting of the siloxane bond were obtained
when performing the reaction of HMDS with the
mixture of PhSiF2Cl and PhSiF3, which suggests much
higher reactivity of PhSiF2Cl relative to PhSiF3 in this
reaction.
PhSiClF2 + Me3SiOSiMe3
→ PhSi(OSiMe3)F2 + Me3SiCl.
(2)
The reaction of PhSiF2Cl with hexaethyldisiloxane
(molar ratio 1:1 at 25°С, 48–72 h) leads to formation of
1,1,1-triethyl-3-phenyl-3,3-difluorosiloxane in 10–15%
yield.
Reaction of PCDFS with excess HMDS (molar
ratio 1:1.5 at 25°С ) does not change the yield and
composition of the products of reaction (2). This
suggests that the formed fluorosiloxane (I) under these
conditions does not split the ≡Si–O–Si≡ group (that is,
no reaction occurs at the Si–F bond).

Note, that, while the Н, 13С NMR spectroscopy is
principally unsuitable for identification of the above
and similar reaction mixtures, the 19F, 29Si NMR
spectra are quite practical for this purpose, in
Reaction of phenyl(dichloro)fluorosilane (PDCFS)
with HMDS (14 h, 25°С) leads to 1,1,1-trimethyl-3-
