Simultaneous synthesis of ethylethoxysilanes and dimethylethylethoxysilane from a mixture of ethyl chloride, tetraethoxysilane, and dimethyldichlorosilane with magnesium (supply rate 75-100 g h-1) was studied. Schemes of intermediate processes are proposed. Reactivity of dimethyldichlorosilane and diethyldichlorosilane relative to each other is evaluated. Various grades of magnesium are tested. To reduce the amount of regenerated solvent (toluene) its mixtures with oligodiethylsiloxanes are used. The mixture of ethyl-substituted silanes can be used in subsequent preparation of oligo-ethylsiloxane liquids modified with the terminal dimethylethylsiloxy groups, which are characterised by improved lubricating properties.
