Abstract
A compound having a non-silanol hydroxyl group and a compound having a silanol group are subjected to dehydrative condensation in the presence of a compound of formula (1), (2) or (3):MXn (1)ZaSiR1bR2cR3d (2)CmF2m+1SO3Y (3)wherein M is a metal, n is the valence of metal M, and X is halogen or CmF2m+1SO3; a=1 to 4, b, c and d=0 to 3, a+b+c+d=4, R1, R2 and R3 are monovalent hydrocarbon groups, Z is halogen or CmF2m+1SO3; Y is H or HW, W is an amine NR4R5R6 or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, R4, R5 and R6 are H or monovalent hydrocarbyl groups, and m=0 to 10. The method is effective in silylating the hydroxyl group without generating a substantial amount of harmful by-products such as hydrogen chloride or triethylamine hydrochloride.
