METHOD OF PRODUCING A HYDROLYZABLE SILICON-CONTAINING COMPOUND

摘要

The present invention provides a safe, inexpensive, and high yield means of producing a hydrolyzable silicon-containing compound, e.g., an organooxysilane and the like. A compound (A) represented by the general formula R1-O-R2 wherein R1 represents a C4-30, substituted or unsubstituted, tertiary alkyl group or aralkyl group and R2 represents a C1-30, substituted or unsubstituted, monovalent hydrocarbyl group or acyl group, is reacted in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst with a halosilane (B) represented by the general formula R3 mSiX4-m wherein R3 represents the hydrogen atom or a C1-30 substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbyl group, X is independently bromine or chlorine, and m represents an integer from 0 to 3.
