Abstract
Abstract Linear low-molecular-weight organo(poly)siloxanes which are monofunctional or difunctional and in which, if difunctional, the two functionalities are present in siloxane units which are chemically different from each other are prepared by reacting an octaorganocyclotetrasiloxane with lithium silanolate in a molar ratio of 0.9:1 to 1.1:1 in an electron-donating, aprotic solvent at a temperature below 50° C., in the absence of water, and thereafter reacting the resultant lithium siloxanolate thus obtained with an organohalosilane.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A process for preparing linear low-molecular weight organo(poly)siloxanes, having one or two functional groups which are bonded to siloxane units wherein not more than one functional group is bonded to one siloxane unit, which comprises reacting an octaorganocyclotetrasiloxane with a lithium silanolate in a molar ratio of octaorganocyclotetrasiloxane to lithium silanolate of from 0.9:1 to 1.1:1 in an electron-donating, aprotic solvent at a temperature below 50° C., in the absence of water, and thereafter reacting the resultant lithium siloxanolate thus obtained with an organohalosilane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A process for preparing linear low-molecular weight organo(poly)siloxanes, having one or two functional groups which are bonded to siloxane units wherein not more than one functional group is bonded to one siloxane unit, which comprises reacting an octaorganocyclotetrasiloxane with a lithium silanolate in a molar ratio of octaorganocyclotetrasiloxane to lithium silanolate of from 0.9:1 to 1.1:1 in an electron-donating, aprotic solvent at a temperature below 50° C., in the absence of water, and thereafter reacting the resultant lithium siloxanolate thus obtained with an organohalosilane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the octaorganocyclotetrasiloxane is octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane.
