Parachors of trialkylmethylsilanes

Abstract

1. Trihexylmethyl-, methyltrioctyl-, and tridecylmethyi-silanes, which have not been described previously in the literature, were synthesized. 2. Parachors were determined for 2 series of trialkyimethylsilanes, ranging from triethyl- to -tridecyl-methylsilanes. 3. The parachor data indicate that triaikylmethysilanes probably have extended structures in which two chains the parallel, similar to the structure (also derived from parachor data) of orthopropionic esters, in which there is also in absence of any kind of polarity in the central atom. © 1956 Consultants Bureau.
