Abstract

The acid-or base-catalyzed reaction of a number of silanols and siloxanes with n-octyl alcohol under nonequilibrium conditions was studied by observing the amount of water formed and the quantitative rate at which it was formed. The reaction is nearly always complicated by simultaneous selfcondensation of the silanol, and by further attack of the reagent upon the siloxane that is formed. By noting the positions at which pronounced “ ...
