Patent ID: 7105693

Claim:
A process for producing a compound of the formula: wherein each R 1 and each R 3 represents, independently, an optionally substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1–20 carbon atoms, optionally containing an ether linkage oxygen atom within a chain, or a group represented by a formula: R 2 O—, wherein R 2 represents an optionally substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1–20 carbon atoms, optionally containing an ether linkage oxygen atom within a chain, a represents an integer of 0 or 1, and n represents an integer of 1, 2, or 3, comprising a dehalogenation reaction of: (a) an alcohol of the formula (1): and (b) a compound of the formula (2): X n —Si R 3 ) 4−n (2) wherein X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom, provided that at least one R 1 is alkynyl and/or at least one R 3 is a halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon, in the presence of: (c1) a tertiary amine which is not a compound of (c2) described below, and (c2) 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undecene-7 and/or 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonene-5.
