Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane is used as a key component for synthesizing pharmaceutical intermediates due to its unique chemical properties, which contribute to the development of novel drugs and therapies.
Used in Organic Silicone Industry:
OPCTS is used as a crucial intermediate for the production of organic silicone intermediates, which are essential in the creation of high-temperature resistant phenyl silicone oil and other polymers, enhancing their performance and durability in various applications.
Used in Polymer Industry:
Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane is used as a vital ingredient in the development of high-temperature resistant polymers, improving their thermal stability and expanding their potential uses in various industrial applications.

Preparation

Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane is typically produced industrially by one of two processes: 1) the hydrolysis of diphenyldichlorosilane or 2) the hydrolysis of diphenyldialkoxysilanes.Process the production of octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane

Flammability and Explosibility

Notclassified

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from AcOH, EtOAc, *C6H6 or *C6H6/EtOH. It forms two stable isomorphs and both forms, as well as the mixture, melt at 200-201o. There is a metastable form which melts at 187-189o.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 546-56-5 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,4 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 546-56:
(5*5)+(4*4)+(3*6)+(2*5)+(1*6)=75
75 % 10 = 5
So 546-56-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Divergent reactivity of divinylsilanes toward sulfonamides in different oxidative systems

Astakhova, Vera V.,Moskalik, Mikhail Yu.,Shainyan, Bagrat A.

, p. 40514 - 40528 (2020)

Oxidative sulfonamidation of divinylsilanes with various sulfonamides in different solvents is reported. With t-BuOI as an oxidant, halogenation is the main process, whereas aziridines are the minor products. With NBS in CH2Cl2 the products of bromination or bromosulfonamidation were obtained, whereas in MeCN or THF the Ritter-type solvent interception products are formed. The obtained bromosulfonamidation products undergo base-induced cyclization to various heterocycles, including imidazolines, 1,4-oxazocanes, or Si,N-containing heterocycles of a new type, 1,3,5-diazasilinanes, in up to quantitative yield.

Reactions of silicon hydrides catalyzed by rhodium(III) sulfoxide complexes

Eliseeva,Prudnikova,Panikorovskii,Skvortsov

, p. 1884 - 1886 (2017)

Dehydrocondensation reactions of silicon hydrides catalyzed by the rhodium(III) complex [RhCl3(Me2SO)3] in the absence of the second substrate were studied. It was found that the complex [RhCl3(Me2SO)3] catalyzed the dehydrocondensation reaction with the formation of compounds containing siloxane bonds. Analysis of NMR spectra has shown that the reaction of [RhCl3(Me2SO)3] with silicon hydride includes sequential desoxygenation of sulfoxide ligands to sulfide ligands with the complex [RhCl3(Me2S)3] formation.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Selective Synthesis of Disiloxanes and Hydrodisiloxanes

Pattanaik, Sandip,Gunanathan, Chidambaram

, p. 5552 - 5561 (2019/06/05)

Selective syntheses of symmetrical siloxanes and cyclotetrasiloxanes are attained from reactions of silanes and dihydrosilanes, respectively, with water, and the reactions are catalyzed by a NNNHtBu cobalt(II) pincer complex. Interestingly, when phenylsilane was subjected to catalysis with water, a siloxane cage consisting 12 silicon and 18 oxygen centers was obtained and remarkably the reaction proceeded with liberation of 3 equiv of molecular hydrogen (36 H2) under mild experimental conditions. Upon reaction of silane with different silanols, highly selective and controlled syntheses of higher order monohydrosiloxanes and disiloxymonohydrosilanes were achieved by cobalt catalysis. The liberated molecular hydrogen is the only byproduct observed in all of these transformations. Mechanistic studies indicated that the reactions occur via a homogeneous pathway. Kinetic and independent experiments confirmed the catalytic oxidation of silane to silanol, and further dehydrocoupling processes are involved in syntheses of symmetrical siloxanes, cyclotetrasiloxanes, and siloxane cage compounds, whereas the unsymmetrical monohydrosiloxane syntheses from silanes and silanols proceeded via dehydrogenative coupling reactions. Overall these cobalt-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions are based on the Si-H, Si-OH, and O-H bond activation of silane, silanol, and water, respectively. Catalytic cycles consisting of Co(II) intermediates are suggested to be operative.

Controlled synthesis of cyclosiloxanes by NHC-catalyzed hydrolytic oxidation of dihydrosilanes

Qing, Guoping,Cui, Chunming

, p. 8746 - 8750 (2017/07/22)

Hydrolytic oxidation of various hydrosilanes in acetonitrile and in the absence of organic solvents catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis is described. The NHC organocatalyst exhibited a very high activity with only 0.1 mol% loading of the catalyst in acetonitrile for aryl-substituted dihydrosilanes to produce hydrogen gas and cyclosiloxanes almost quantitatively in several minutes. The calculated TOF (15 000 h-1) of this organocatalyst is comparable to those of precious metal-based heterogeneous catalysts and much superior to those of the existing homogeneous metal catalysts. The catalytic reaction selectively yielded cyclosiloxanes in high yield without the contamination of silanols. Furthermore, the catalytic reaction can also be furnished under solvent-free conditions at elevated temperatures with 2.5 mol% loading of the NHC in 5-12 hours.
