A method of making a trihalodisilane, the method comprising: combining a reductive effective amount of an alkylaluminum hydride, a halodisilane comprising at least 4 halogen atoms, and a solvent at a temperature <80° C. and reducing the halodisilane to form a reaction product mixture comprising a trihalodisilane and an alkylaluminum halide.

Synthesis of 1,1,1-trichlorodisilane

A method of producing a halosiloxane, the method comprising: combining water, a halosilane, and a first solvent, where the first solvent has a water solubility of &#x3e;1.5 grams in 100 ml of solvent, to form a reaction mixture having a temperature above the melting point temperature of the solvent, partially hydrolyzing and condensing the halosilane to form a reaction product mixture comprising the halosiloxane, the solvent, a hydrogen halide and unreacted halosilane, and, optionally, adding a second solvent with a boiling point&#x2265;the boiling point of the halosiloxane to the reaction mixture or the reaction product mixture.

Method of making a halosiloxane

A method of producing a halosiloxane, the method comprising: i) combining water, a halosilane, and a first solvent to form a reaction mixture, ii) partially hydrolyzing and condensing the halosilane to form a reaction product mixture comprising the halosiloxane, the solvent, unreacted halosilane, and hydrogen halide, iii) adding a second solvent, where the second solvent has a boiling point the boiling point of the halosiloxane, to the reaction mixture in i) or to the reaction product mixture in ii), and iv) recovering the halosiloxane from the reaction product mixture.

A platinum organosiloxane complex is prepared by a process including 1) combining A) a platinous halide and B) a ketone, and thereafter 2) adding C) a polyorganosiloxane having, per molecule, 2 to 4 silicon bonded terminally unsaturated hydrocarbon groups having from 2 to 6 carbon. The platinum organosiloxane complex prepared by the process is useful as a hydrosilylation catalyst.

Process for preparing platinum organosiloxane complexes

A platinum organosiloxane complex is prepared by a process including combining A) a platinous halide; B) a ketone; C) an enone additive distinct from any other starting materials or rearrangement products thereof; and D) a polyorganosiloxane having, per molecule, 2 to 4 silicon bonded terminally unsaturated hydrocarbon groups having from 2 to 6 carbon. The platinum organosiloxane complex prepared by the process is useful as a hydrosilylation catalyst.
