Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed relate to method of forming organosilicon products. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of forming an organosilicon product that can include contacting a first side of a silicone membrane with a nonvolatile liquid reactant. The method can include contacting a second side of the membrane with a gaseous reactant. The contacting can be sufficient to react the gaseous reactant with the liquid reactant to form an organosilicon product on the first side of the silicone membrane. The silicone membrane can be substantially impermeable to the liquid reactant and substantially permeable to the gaseous reactant.

Abstract: A process for producing an organosilane including reacting an alkene halide with a hydrogen silane in the presence of a hydrosilating catalyst. The alkene halide is present in an amount such that a molar excess of at least 5 moles per one mole of hydrogen silane is maintained.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for the preparation of (piperazinylorgano)silanes. The process involves the contact of an (aminoorgano)silane with piperazine or an organopiperazine, in the presence of palladium black as a catalyst. The process is run at a temperature within a range of about 50.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. in a standard low-pressure type reactor.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for separating silyl ketene acetals from carbonyl by-products having a terminal olefinic bond and a boiling point similar to that of the silyl ketene acetals. The method employs a platinum catalyst which specifically effects hydrosilation of the carbonyl by-product's terminal olefinic bond by an organohydrosilane. The platinum catalyst is the reaction product of hexachloroplatinic acid and sym-tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane. In a preferred method the silyl ketene acetal is separated from the hydrosilated carbonyl by-product by distillation.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for preparation of silyl ketene acetals. The process comprises contacting a mixture containing an organosilane having a silicon-bonded hydrogen (organohydrosilane) and a vinylic compound with RhCl(di-tert-butylsulfide).sub.2 as catalyst at a temperature within a range of about 20.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. The RhCl(di-tert-butylsulfide).sub.2 catalyst demonstrates higher activity than that typically described for rhodium catalysts, allowing for lower concentrations of catalyst and lower reaction temperatures to be used while maintaining high conversion to the desired silyl ketene acetals.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for the preparation of primary aminoorganosilanes. The process comprises contacting an cyanoorganosilane with hydrogen gas in the presence of a supported cobalt catalyst. The result of this process is a near quantitative conversion of the cyanoorganosilane to a primary aminoorganosilane. The apparent rate and yield of the process can be improved by use of an organic solvent, without effecting specificity for the primary aminoorganosilane.

Abstract: The present invention is a process specific for the preparation of bis- and tris- amines by the contact of silylorganoamines in the presence of palladium monoxide catalyst. The process results in near quantitative conversion of the silylorganoamines to the desired bis- and tris-amines, without the need for elevated pressures and without formation of salts of ammonia and chloride.
