Abstract
A method for producing a cyclic polysiloxane that includes a step for reacting a raw material cyclic siloxane and a dihalosilane in association with ring-opening of the cyclic siloxane in the presence of at least one catalyst selected from Lewis base compounds having a carbonamide bond represented by —C(═O)N<, phosphorus compounds having a P═O bond, quaternary ammonium salts, and quaternary phosphonium salts to obtain a linear polysiloxane with both ends of the molecular chain blocked by halogen atoms and a step for obtaining a cyclic polysiloxane by reacting the linear polysiloxane with both ends of the molecular chain blocked by halogen atoms with water makes it possible to provide a method for producing a cyclic polysiloxane that obtains a cyclic polysiloxane at high yield and high purity by simple steps and under moderate conditions.
