The composition of the products of heterogeneous cohydmtysis of trimethyl-and dimethylphenylchlorosilanes by excess aqueous ammonia (4--5% solution) is determined by the regime of heterofunctional condensation of the initial chlorosilanes with the products of their hydrolysis, triorganosilanols. In a diffusion regime, hexaorganodisiloxanes are formed because of the limited possibility of removing silanols from the reaction zone. while silanols are predominantly formed in a kinetic regime. The influence of the nature of the solvent and surfactant and the intensity of stirring of the reaction mixture on the composition of the final products of hydrolytic coeondensation of triorganochlorosilanes is considered.
