Abstract

A mild method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical bis-alkoxysilanes has been developed. This method utilizes two readily available catalysts (rhodium acetate dimer and 10% palladium on carbon) that, under neutral aprotic conditions and within reasonable time, give very good yields of the product in two steps without need to isolate intermediates.

Key words

hydridosilanes - alkoxysilanes - alcoholysis - unsymmetrical - silyl ketals
