Organosilicon process using a chloroplatinic acid reaction product as the catalyst

Claim 1

A COMPOUND PREPARED BY (A) FORMING A REACTION MIXTURE OF (1) CHLOROPLANTINIC ACID WITH (2) AT LEAST 2 MOLES PER GRAM ATOM OF PLATINUM OF A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF (A) ALCOHOLS HAVING THE FORMULA ROH, (B) ETHERS HAVING THE FORMULA ROR, (C) ALDEHYDES HAVING THE FORMULA RCHO, AND (D) MIXTURES THEREOF AND (B) HEATING SAID REACTION MIXTURE AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 60 TO 80*C. AT A REDUCED PRESSURE UNTIL THE REACTION PRODUCT HAS A RATIO OF FROM ABOUT 2.0 TO ABOUT 3.5 ATOMS OF CHLORINE PER ATOM OF PLATINUM, WHERE R IS A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF ALKYL RADICALS CONTAINING AT LEAST 4 CARBON ATOMS, ALKYL RADICALS SUBSTITUTED WITH AN AROMATIC HYDROCARBON RADICAL AND ALKYL RADICALS SUBSTITUTED WITH AN OR'' GROUP, WHERE R'' IS A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF MONOVALENT HYDROCARBON RADICALS FREE OF ALIPHATIC UNSATURATION AND MONOVALENT RADICALS FREE OF ALIPHATIC UNSATURATION AND CONSISTING OF CARBON, HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN ATOMS WITH EACH OXYGEN ATOM BEING ATTACHED TO TWO OTHER ATOMS, ONE OF WHICH IS A CARBON ATOM AND THE OTHER OF WHICH IS A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF A CARBON ATOM AND A HYDROGEN ATOM.
