The reaction of silicon monoxide with toluene and iodine
Abstract
In a novel reaction, condensing SiO gas attacks toluene very efficiently in the presence of iodine at –90 °C to give a polysiloxane oil with 2- and 4-C6H4CH3, I and H as substituents; oily polyiodosiloxanes are made from SiO and I2 in iodoethane solution at –110 °C.
