T. Nagei et al., SYNTHESIS OF OLIGOMERIC BIS(TRIBUTYLSTANN YLOXY) SILOXANE FROM SODIUMMETASILICATE AND BIS(TRIBUTYLTIN) OXIDE, Nippon kagaku kaishi, (6), 1997, pp. 461-464
Oligomeric bis(tributylstannyloxy) siloxanes were readily prepared by
the reaction of sodium metasilicate and bis(tributyltin) oxide. The ra
tios of Sn/Si contained in the obtained siloxanes ranged from 2 to 3,
which were estimated by gravimetric analyses. Tributylstannyl group wa
s shown to be an effective protection group against the self-condensat
ion to give silica gel.
