Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A process for the preparation of sterically hindered trialkoxysilanol compounds of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R' is independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alenyl, aryl, or aralkyl, with the proviso that at least a majority of the pendant R' groups attached to the central Si atom are sterically hindered alkyl groups having at least 3 carbon atoms, comprising reacting a corresponding trialkoxyhalosilane of the formula, (R' O) 3 SiX, wherein X is a halogen and R' is defined as above, with solid bicarbonate is a polar non-protonic solvent medium in the presence of a catalytic amount of water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
