Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A process for the preparation of a trichlorosilane ester of the formula H-Si(OR).sub.3.sub.-n Cl.sub.n wherein n = 0 or 1, R is an alkyl group of 1 to 11 carbon atoms, an alkyl group of 1 to 11 carbon atoms containing an oxygen atom in the chain or an alkyl group of 1 to 11 carbon atoms containing a sulfur atom in the chain which comprises 1. forming a partial esterification product by contacting trichlorosilane with up to a 10% stoichiometric excess of a primary alcohol, the stoichiometric amount corresponding to only partial esterification of said trichlorosilane, said contacting being conducted only in the liquid phase and without contact in the vapor phase; 2. removing HCl formed from the reaction vessel; 3. thereafter contacting the partial esterification product with additional primary alcohol and removing liberated residual HCl from the reaction vessel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A process for the preparation of a trichlorosilane ester of the formula H-Si(OR).sub.3.sub.-n Cl.sub.n wherein n = 0 or 1, R is an alkyl group of 1 to 11 carbon atoms, an alkyl group of 1 to 11 carbon atoms containing an oxygen atom in the chain or an alkyl group of 1 to 11 carbon atoms containing a sulfur atom in the chain which comprises 1. forming a partial esterification product by contacting trichlorosilane with up to a 10% stoichiometric excess of a primary alcohol, the stoichiometric amount corresponding to only partial esterification of said trichlorosilane, said contacting being conducted only in the liquid phase and without contact in the vapor phase; 2. removing HCl formed from the reaction vessel; 3. thereafter contacting the partial esterification product with additional primary alcohol and removing liberated residual HCl from the reaction vessel.
