Abstract:
A method for making an aromatic-substituted (hydrocarbonoxy)silane compound comprising reacting a hydrido (hydrocarbonoxy)silane compound described by formulaHSiR.sub.n (OR').sub.3-nwith an aromatic vinyl compound in the presence of platinum or a platinum compound catalyst and a carboxylic acid compound; where each R is an independently selected hydrocarbon group selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon groups comprising 1 to 10 carbon atoms and hydrocarbon groups comprising 1 to 10 carbon atoms which have at least one of the carbon atoms bonded to an atom selected from the group consisting of O, F, Cl, Br, I, and Si; each R' is an independently selected hydrocarbon group selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon groups comprising 1 to 18 carbon atoms and hydrocarbon atoms comprising 1 to 18 carbon atoms which have at least one of the carbon atoms bonded to an atom selected from the group consisting of O, F, Cl, Br, I, and Si; and n=0, 1, or 2.
