Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
In a method of producing linear polysiloxanes by reaction of dimethyldichlorosilane and methanol in contact with a catalyst selected from the group consisting of (1) pyridinium chlorides of the formula ##STR3## (2) compounds of the formula R'" 4 N + Cl - , ##STR4## where R' is a hydrocarbon radical having 18 or less carbon atoms; "a" is an integer from 0-5; "m" is an integer greater than 1, R" is a lower alkyl radical; and R'" is selected from the group consisting of methyl, hydroxy alkyl of 2-4 inclusive carbon atoms, aromatic hydrocarbon radicals, and ArCH 2 -- radicals in which Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon radical there being no more than 18 carbon atoms total in the R'" group, the improvement comprising carrying out the reaction at a pressure of from 15 to 100 psi at a temperature of from 130° to 170° C. and thereafter separating the dimethylpolysiloxane so produced from the catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
In a method of producing linear polysiloxanes by reaction of dimethyldichlorosilane and methanol in contact with a catalyst selected from the group consisting of (1) pyridinium chlorides of the formula ##STR3## (2) compounds of the formula R'" 4 N + Cl - , ##STR4## where R' is a hydrocarbon radical having 18 or less carbon atoms; "a" is an integer from 0-5; "m" is an integer greater than 1, R" is a lower alkyl radical; and R'" is selected from the group consisting of methyl, hydroxy alkyl of 2-4 inclusive carbon atoms, aromatic hydrocarbon radicals, and ArCH 2 -- radicals in which Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon radical there being no more than 18 carbon atoms total in the R'" group, the improvement comprising carrying out the reaction at a pressure of from 15 to 100 psi at a temperature of from 130° to 170° C. and thereafter separating the dimethylpolysiloxane so produced from the catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 2 in which the catalyst is methylpyridinium chloride.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
24 words
The method of claims 1, 2, and 3 in which the methanol is employed in amount of from 5 to 10 mol percent excess.
