Abstract
Abstract An improvement in a process for forming an orthosilicic acid ester or an oligomer thereof by contacting a tetrachlorosilane or higher homolog thereof with a primary alcohol, the improvement which comprises introducing the alcohol directly into a tetrachlorosilane liquid phase without said alcohol touching the gas phase and, after completion of the reaction, removing hydrogen chloride formed during the reaction from the reaction zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
In a process for the manufacture of an orthosilicic acid ester or an oligomer thereof wherein a tetrachlorosilane or a higher homolog thereof is contacted with a primary alcohol, in some instances with the addition of water, the improvement which comprises introducing the alcohol directly into a tetrachlorosilane or higher homolog thereof liquid phase without said alcohol touching the gas phase and, after completion of the reaction, removing any residual hydrogen chloride from the reaction zone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
In a process for the manufacture of an orthosilicic acid ester or an oligomer thereof wherein a tetrachlorosilane or a higher homolog thereof is contacted with a primary alcohol, in some instances with the addition of water, the improvement which comprises introducing the alcohol directly into a tetrachlorosilane or higher homolog thereof liquid phase without said alcohol touching the gas phase and, after completion of the reaction, removing any residual hydrogen chloride from the reaction zone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the alcohol is introduced into the liquid phase at a slightly elevated pressure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process according to claims 1 or 2 wherein the reaction is effected without the application of external heat.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the alcohol employed is one which is free of water.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein water is added to the reaction mixture without said water touching the gas phase and the reaction mixture is heated to a temperature between 40° and 100° C. whereby there is obtained an oligomeric silicic acid ester.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein an inret gas is additionally added to the reaction mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A process according to claim 6 wherein said inert gas is nitrogen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein the alcohol added to the reaction mixture is in admixture with an amount of water corresponding to the desired degree of oligomerization.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the silane reactant has the formula Cl.sub.3 Si[O-Si(Cl.sub.2)].sub.n Cl wherein n is a value between 1 and 10 and the reaction is effected employing alcohol free of water.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 9 wherein n is a value between 1 and 6.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the reaction is effected in the presence of a hydrocarbon or chlorohydrocarbon solvent.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the reaction is completed before removal of any residual hydrogen chloride from the reaction zone.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein all of the chlorine atoms of the tetrachlorosilane are esterified prior to hydrogen chloride removal.
