ChemInform Abstract: Condensation Behaviour of Silanols. Part 2. Acid Catalyzed Condensation of Dimethylsilanediol and Siloxanediols in Toluene/Water.
Abstract
The acid catalyzed condensa- " tion of the silanol (I) and its first condensation products (II) and of the siloxane (III) and (IV) with geminal OH groups is investigated by means of GLC and IR spectroscopy.
ChemInform Abstract
The acid catalyzed condensa- " tion of the silanol (I) and its first condensation products (II) and of the siloxane (III) and (IV) with geminal OH groups is investigated by means of GLC and IR spectroscopy. The kinetic data are discussed with respect to the substituent dependence of the reaction rates, the reaction mechanism, and the competition ofsilanol condensation and siloxane cleavage.
