Abstract
Controlled hydrolysis of 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane in water or in methanol–water (1:1 or 1:2 V/V) mixture in a slightly acidic system followed by solvent evaporation under reduced pressure leads to crystalline 3-chloropropylsilanetriol containing 5–10%, of the self-condensation dimer, 1,3-di(3-chloropropyl)1,1,3,3-tetrahydroxydisiloxane. Polycondensation of 3-chloropropylsilanetriol may be used for synthesis of polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes bearing the chloropropyl group.
