Abstract: This invention relates to the preparation of organosilicon compounds by the addition of a silicon compound containing Si-bonded hydrogen to a compound having an aliphatic multiple bond in the presence of a catalyst which promotes the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen to compounds containing an aliphatic multiple bond. In this process the reactants and the catalyst are continuously introduced into a pipe-shaped reactor while the contents of the reactor, which are maintained in a liquid phase by the application of pressure are circulated in the reactor at a rate of at least 1,000 cm per minute and while the reaction mixture is continuously being removed from the reactor.

Abstract: Cyclic dimethylpolysiloxanes are prepared by heating a mixture containing linear or branched organopolysiloxanes consisting of at least 50 mol percent dimethylsiloxane units and aqueous sulfuric acid in which the aqueous sulfuric acid contains from 50 to 85 percent by weight of sulfuric acid, while simultaneously recovering the cyclic dimethylpolysiloxanes thus formed.

Abstract: Organic polysilanes may be produced in a simpler, safer and more economic manner by reacting an organohalosilicon hydride with lithium metal or lithium-alkali metal alloy. According to the reaction the silicon-silicon bonds of the organopolysilane are formed by the removal of halogen and hydrogen from the hydride. Particularly important is the formation of dodecamethylcyclohexasilane by the reaction of dimethyl chlorosilane with lithium metal. Simpler polysilanes may be produced by adding to the reaction mixture endcappers such as trifunctional organohalosilanes without an Si-H bond.
