A process for producing a cyclic silane compound, in which a chained polysilane is subjected to pyrolysis in the presence of an oxide of a transition metal belonging to Group 8 or Group 11 of the periodic table; and a process for producing a cyclic carbosilane compound, that includes subjecting a chained polysilane to pyrolysis in the presence of a simple substance of a metal selected from the group consisting of transition metal elements and elements belonging to Groups 12 to 15 of the periodic table, or a compound thereof.

Process for production of cyclic silane compound and/or cyclic carbosilane compound

A method for easily producing high-purity polydimethylsilane or polydiphenylsilane, where by-products such as alkali metal salt and alkaline earth metal salt can be efficiently removed, is provided. Dimethyldichlorosilane or diphenyldichlorosilane is reacted with an alkali metal such as metal sodium and metal magnesium and/or an alkaline earth metal in an organic solvent such as toluene to obtain crude polydimethylsilane or crude polydiphenylsilane, methanol having dissolved therein an ether ester-type nonionic surfactant or a surfactant such as alkylbenzenesulfonate is added to the crude polydimethylsilane or the crude polydiphenylsilane to deactivate the remaining alkali metal and alkaline earth metal, and the crude polydimethylsilane or the crude polydiphenylsilane is washed with water in the presence of a surfactant to efficiently remove an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt and the like, whereby high-purity polydimethylsilane or polydiphenylsilane is obtained.

Process for production of polysilane compound

The present invention relates to: a process for producing a cyclic silane compound, which comprises subjecting a chained polysilane to pyrolysis in the presence of an oxide of a transition metal belonging to Group 8 or Group 11 of the periodic table; and a process for producing a cyclic carbosilane compound, which comprises subjecting a chained polysilane to pyrolysis in the presence of a simple substance of a metal selected from the group consisting of transition metal elements and elements belonging to Groups 12 to 15 of the periodic table or a compound thereof.

The invention provides novel processes for preparing efficiently compounds of general formula (1) (wherein R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted C1-C10 alkyl, C3-C14 hydrocarbyl bearing alicyclic skeleton, or the like) and initermediates thereof. Compounds of general formula (I) can be prepared by subjecting compounds of general formula (II) and/or salts thereof to cyclization hydrolysis in an aqueous basic solution. Further, compounds of general formula (II) can be prepared from industrially easily available diaminomaleonitrile in a high yield.
