  • Patent number: 7314946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to (2-cyclopentenyl)chlorosilane derivatives and the preparation method thereof. In particular, it relates to a very economical process which reacts cyclopentadiene, which is formed by a cracking of industrially produced low-priced dicyclopentadiene, with a silane compound containing silicon-hydrogen bonds at elevated temperature in a hydrocarbon compound with a boiling point of a predetermined range, thus also enabling to prevent problematic production of dicyclopentadiene polymer by using the hydrocarbon compound. Further, in the presence of a group 10 metal compound catalyst, the process herein is capable of lowering the reaction temperature and increasing the yield in the reaction of sterically hindered alkyl-dichlorosilane. The (2-cyclopentenyl)chlorosilane may be useful in preparing an organic silicon compound containing an unsaturated group or a functional silicone polymer using the same, or in modifying the surface or manufacturing a thin layer.

  • Patent number: 7259272
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ?-[2-(polyalkyleneoxy)ethylthio]alkylalkoxysilane derivative and a preparation method thereof, more particularly to a ?-[2-(polyalkyleneoxy)ethylthio]alkylalkoxysilane derivative prepared by transforming a (?-mercaptoalkyl)alkylalkoxysilane compound into a ?-(alkoxysilyl)alkylthiolate metal salt by treating it with a metallic base and performing dehalometallation at low reaction temperature using a poly(alkyleneoxy)alkyl ether halide or a poly(alkyleneoxy)bis(haloalkyl) ether to form a carbon-sulfur bond and a preparation method thereof. The novel compound of the present invention has not only a Si—OR bond but also contains a sulfur atom in the molecule, so that it can be used as monomer for synthesizing hydrophilic functional silicon polymers, source material of silicon-based surfactants and surface modifier of organic/inorganic materials.

  • Patent number: 7109367
    Abstract: This invention relates to (organothiomethyl)chlorosilanes and methods for their preparation by the dehydrohalogenative Si—C coupling reaction of oranothiomethyl halides with Si—H containing chlorosilanes (hydrosilanes), wherein a mixture of oranothiomethyl halide and hydrosilane is heated in the presence of tertiary amine or organic salts (quaternary organoammonium and organophosphonium halides to give (organothiomethyl)chlorosilanes, which is existing a sulfur atom in alkyl chain, (formula: R2SCH2SiCl2R1) in good yield. wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, halogen, or C1–C6 alkyl; R2 is selected from the group consisting of C1–C6 alkyl or an aryl group. Especially, this reaction using organic salt as a catalyst provide better economical matter and yield compared with conventional methods, because only catalytic amount of organic salt is required and the catalyst can be separated from the reaction mixture and recycled easily.

  • Patent number: 5965762
    Abstract: New chlorohydrosilane derivatives having the general formula (I) and preparation method thereof. The chlorohydrosilane derivatives (I) of the present invention which have both Si--Cl and Si--H bonds are prepared by partially reducing chlorosilane of the formula (II) which have at least two Si--Cl bonds with lithiumaluminum hydride. The chlorohydrosilane derivatives (I) of the present invention, which have both Si--H and Si--Cl bonds in a molecule can be advantageously used in preparing various compounds because a Si--H bond enables the hydrosilylation with unsaturated organic compounds, while a Si--Cl bond can participate in hydrolysis or in a reaction with a nucleophilic compound such as Grignard reatent: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is straight, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, which can include an aromatic group or heterocyclic group, and R.sup.
