Preparation of organosilicon intermediate and their derivatives in a novel grignard process

Abstract

A one-step process for the preparation of organosilicon intermediates. The organosilicon intermediates comprise a group which includes such intermediates as 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene, 1,4-bis(dimethylchlorosilyl)benzene, and their derivatives. The process comprises: combining a dihalobenzene with magnesium metal in a co-solvent mixture of an ether and an organic solvent and reacting them with an organosilicon compound of the general formula, R2bHcSiXd. The resulting mixture is allowed to react to completion. The resulting mixture is passed through a filtration device. The liquid, now free of solid magnesium halide, is subjected to a separation technique to recover the subject organosilicon intermediates and their derivatives.
