Method of making organosilicon carbonyl compounds

摘要

Organosilicon aldehydes and ketones are prepared by a method in which an organosilicon compound containing ozonide functionality is first formed by exposing an organosilicon compound containing unsaturation to ozone. The organosilicon compound containing ozonide functionality is then reduced to the corresponding organosilicon aldehyde or ketone with a reducing agent. One preferred reducing agent is a combination of zinc and acetic acid. Complete conversion of the ozonide to the carbonyl (=C=O) compound is obtained when the ozonide containing the reducing agent is heated briefly to about 30 DEG C.
