“…When 1,3,5-trimethyl-l ,3,5-triphenylcyclotrisiloxane is heated with alcohols in the presence of hydrochloric acid or KIL activated clay, 1,5-dialkoxymethylphenylsiloxanes RO[CH 3 (C 6 H 5 )SiO] 3 R (R = C 2 H 5 , n-CaH,, or iso-CaH,) are formed in yields up to 72-86% 87 . Hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid, or an aluminosilicate may be employed as catalysts 88 .…”
