diethoxy-methyl-[3-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)propyl]silane

Conditions: temp:85.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Again, to the apparatus of Example 3 were pressure charged 49.6 lb [22.5 kg] (168.2 mol) of methyldiethoxysilane from a 10 gallon Pope can. After addition of the 20.0 g of CPA ethanol solution (15 ppm Pt) and 21.0 ml (460 ppm) of acetic acid through the handhole, the reactor was kept under nitrogen purge, sealed and heated to 85° C. Allyl glycidyl ether (50.6 lb [23 kg], 20 mole % excess or 210.8 mol) was added through a line to the mixture in the reactor from a pressurized can. The AGE was added at a rate that kept the reaction temperature between 85 and 95° C. After two hours, the addition was complete and the hydrosilation lites were stripped. The crude product was vacuum distilled at 104-121° C. (3-7 mm Hg) to yield 75.5 pounds (31.23 kg) of γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane with an average purity of 99.0%. This represents a conversion of 82.3%. Again present were the silane scrambled products γ-glycidoxy-propyldimethyl(ethoxy) silane (0.39% by GC) and γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane (0.27% by GC). purge sealed The AGE was added at a rate that the reaction temperature between 85 and 95° C the addition distilled at 104-121° C. (3-7 mm Hg)
