SOLVENTLESS PROCESS TO PRODUCE AROMATIC GROUP-CONTAINING ORGANOSILANES

摘要

Disclosed herein is a process for producing an aromatic group-containing organosilane. The process includes reacting a reaction mixture comprising an aromatic organic compound of the formula R1X and a halosilane or alkoxysilane represented by the formula R2 aSiZ4-a in the presence of magnesium metal in order to produce the organosilane with the proviso that said reaction mixture is essentially free of any organic solvent, wherein R1 is an aryl group, each R2 is independently a phenyl group, a vinyl group or a C1-C4 alkyl group, X is chlorine or bromine, Z is chlorine, bromine or alkoxy, and a has a value of 0, 1, 2, or 3.
