A Study of the Influence of the HCl Concentration on the Composition and Structure of (Hydroxy)Arylsiloxanes from the Hydrolysis-Condensation Reaction of Aryltrichlorosilanes.

ABSTRACT: The hydrolysis-condensation reactions of m-tolyl, m-chlorophenyl, and ?-naphtyl-trichlorsilanes, (1, 2, and 3, respectively) in water-acetone solutions were examined for how they were influenced by the change in the concentration of HCl (CHCl). The composition of the products was monitored by 29Si NMR spectroscopy and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS). The acidity of the medium was shown to affect the yields of the products, and so, what products were formed. For 3, e.g., APCI-MS showed peaks of ?-naphtyl-T8 and ?-naphtyl-T10 as the most abundant in the spectra taken after 48 and 240 h for the reaction conducted at CHCl = 0.037 mol L-1. Unlike this, at CHCl = 0.15 mol L-1, those peaks were of [?-naphtyl(HO)2SiO]2(?-naphtyl)(HO)Si and/or [?-naphtyl(HO)Si]3, [?-naphtyl(HO)Si]4,5, and ?-naphtyl-T8 after 192 h. However, at both CHCl values, the main product (and an intermediate) after 24 h was trans-1,1,3,3-tetrahydroxy-1,3-di-?-naphtyldisiloxane. It was isolated and its structure established by 1H-, 29Si-NMR, and X-ray powder diffraction.
