Abstract: The present invention relates to triazine-containing organosilicon compounds having units of the formulaA.sub.a R.sub.b X.sub.c SiO.sub.(4-a-b-c)/2 (I),whereR is identical or different and denotes a hydrogen atom or a monovalent substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radical, having 1 to 26 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 18 per radical,X is identical or different and is a halogen atom, a chlorine atom or a radical of the formula --OR.sup.1, where R.sup.1 denotes an alkyl radical, having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 8 per radical and which may be substituted by an ether oxygen atom,a is 0 or 1, preferably 0.01-0.5b is 0, 1, 2 or 3, preferably 0.5-3.0c is 0, 1, 2 or 3, preferably 0.0-2.0 and the sum a+b+c.ltoreq.4, preferably 0.1-3.5, andA is a radical of the formula ##STR1## where R.sup.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of organosilicon compounds containing carboxyl groups. According to the process of the invention, organosilicon compounds containing carboxyl groups are prepared in the presence of Bronstedt or Lewis acids at relatively low temperatures thus avoiding undesirable side effects of higher temperatures such as gelling due to crosslinking.
