PRODUCTION METHOD FOR ALKOXYSILANES

Paragraph 0096; 0097; 0115, (2016/01/30)
Provided is a method for efficiently producing alkoxysilanes that are useful as various functional chemicals. In order to produce alkoxysilanes efficiently, an ethoxy- or methoxysilane and an alcohol are caused to react using, as a catalyst, for instance an inorganic solid acid having a regular-pore and/or layered structure. Zeolites, montmorillonites or the like can be used as the inorganic solid acid. When a zeolite is used as the catalyst, the silica/alumina ratio of the zeolite ranges preferably from 5 to 1000. The reaction can be promoted through irradiation of microwaves.
Transesterification Reaction of Tetraethoxysilane and Butyl Alcohols

Tetraethoxysilane was treated with Amberlyst 15 cation-exchange resin in the presence of butyl alcohol.On treating the mixture of tetraethoxysilane and 1-butanol, the transesterification took place in which butoxyl groups were substituted for ethoxyl groups in tetraethoxysilane.The degree of the transesterification depended on the molar ratio of tetraethoxysilane to 1-butanol of a mixture.The distribution of alkoxysilane species present in the tetraethoxysilane-1-butanol solution was compared with the tetrabutoxysilane-ethanol solution, and it was found that the degree of the transesterification depended on the ratio of numbers of alkyl groups in tetraalkoxysilane and alcohol used.The time required for equilibrium in the distribution of alkoxysilane species in the solution was different with the variety of butyl alcohol used, suggesting the presence of steric effect of butyl alcohols on this reaction.
