Abstract
Hydrolysis of an alkoxysiloxane of the formula: R.sup.1.sub.a (R.sup.2 O).sub.b SiO.sub.(4-a-b)/2 wherein R.sup.1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, R.sup.2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, letter a=0 to 2.2, b=0.2 to 3, 2.ltoreq.a+b.ltoreq.3, and the number of silicon atoms in a molecule is 2 to 5, is effected in the presence of a cation exchange resin by adding water therereto in an amount of 1 to 10 mol per mol of the alkoxy group in the alkoxysiloxane and agitating the mixture. Low molecular weight, linear organosiloxanes having a silanol terminal group including dimer diol and trimer diol are produced in high yields.
