Abstract
A process for preparing linear organohydrogensiloxanes. The process comprises contacting an organohydrogendichlorosilane in the presence of trimethylchlorosilane with water to form an M-stopped hydrolyzate. The hydrolyzate is optionally preheated prior to being contacted with an acidic rearrangement catalyst to effect formation of linear organohydrogensiloxanes. The linear organohydrogensiloxanes are separated from cyclic organohydrogensiloxanes and recovered. The cyclic organohydrogensiloxanes may then be recycled to the process for further contact with the acidic rearrangement catalyst for maximum overall conversion rate.
