Abstract

sym-Tetramethyldisiloxane adds to either hexene-2 or hexene-3 in the presence of chloroplatinic acid to establish Si-C bonds with the silicon attached chiefly to the 1-position but also to the 2-and 3-positions of the hexyl group in the products. Hexene-1 formed the 1- hexyl derivative almost exclusively. During the reaction a hexene becomes a mixture of hexene isomers.
