“…Previous methods for the preparation of triarylalkoxysilanes and triarylaryloxysilanes have been reviewed recently,2 as have methods for the preparation of unsymmetrical disiloxanes. 3 The most convenient and versatile of the previous methods for the synthesis of either of these types of compounds has been the reaction between a triarylchlorosilane and a metal salt of an alcohol, phenol or silanol. Of the compounds listed in Table I only triphenylethoxysilane,2•4 hexaphenyldisiloxane3•5 and 1,1, l-triphenyl-3,3,3-tri-/>-tolyldisiloxane3 have been prepared previously.…”
