Quantum-Chemical Modeling of Hydrosilylation Reaction of Triethoxysilane to Divinylbenzene
Hydrosilylation of triethoxysilane with the mixture of ortho- and para-divinylbenzene in the presen¬ce of Karstedt’s catalyst has been carried out and the corresponding product triethoxy(vinylphenethyl)silane have been obtained. The structure and composition of the obtained product were proved by means of determining molecular mass, molecular refraction, and 1H and 13C NMR spectra data. It was found that the addition reaction proceeds both in ortho-position as well as in para-position.
