l,l,7,7,tetrasiloxane.-To a solution of 0.390 g. (1.33 mmole.) of the tetrol in 40 ml. of ether was added 4.0 ml. (31.6 mmoles.) of trimethylchlorosilane and 2.0 ml. of pyridine. Work-up as above yielded 0.422 g. (57%) of distillate which mostly solidified to a waxy solid. Vapor phase chromatography showed this to be about 95% pure; a specimen collected by v.p.c. melted at 85-90°and had an infrared spectrum identical with that of a sample prepared by Simmler's2 procedure. This spectrum (in CS2) showed a very strong raSiOSi band near 1062 cm.-1 [probably a 1065 (s), 1052 (m) doublet] with a medium shoulder near 1105 cm.-1, but no bands of SiOH groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
