Synthesis and reactions of oxygen-containing organosilicon compounds

Summary

• 1. The possibility of preparing low-molecular-weight ethers from silanediols and alcohols was established, and four compounds were synthesized: dibutoxymethyl-1-naphthylsilane (I), 1,3-dibutoxy-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-di-1-naphthyldisiloxane (II), l,5-dibutoxy-l,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tri-1-naphthyltrisiloxane (III), and 7-butoxy-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetra-1-naphthyl-1-tetrasiloxanol (IV).

• 2. The use of a vacuum in the synthesis of dibutoxymethyl-1-naphthylsilane from dichloromethyl-1-naphthylsilane and butyl alcohol has a substantial effect on the yield of this compound.
