» Grignard reactions

Grignard reactions lead to the direct incorporation of organic groups. This type of reaction is chiefly used in the laboratory because it is readily controlled and is highly versatile. It is also employed in the industrial-scale production of vinyl silanes.

The following overview shows how various organo-functional silanes are manufactured:

Silanes with certain organo-functional groups are used, for example, in the production of silicone rubber (one-component or two-component crosslinking agents) and of silicone surfactants.
