Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing tetraalkoxysilane while saving energy at a high yield. Tetraalkoxysilane can be produced while saving energy at a high yield by the method including a first step of reacting alcohol with carbon dioxide in the presence of a dehydrating agent and/or in a reactor provided with a dehydrating means, and a second step of reacting a reaction mixture obtained in the first step with silicon oxide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing tetraalkoxysilane by using alcohol and silicon oxide, comprising: a first step of reacting alcohol with carbon dioxide in the presence of a dehydrating agent and/or in a reactor comprising a dehydrating means; and a second step of reacting a reaction mixture obtained in the first step with silicon oxide, wherein the alcohol, the silicon oxide, and the carbon dioxide coexist in one reaction system, and thereby the first step and the second step proceed in the one reaction system. 2. The method for producing tetraalkoxysilane according to claim 1 , wherein the first step is performed in the presence of at least one metal compound selected from the group consisting of a metal alkoxide, an organic metal oxide, and an inorganic metal oxide. 3. The method for producing tetraalkoxysilane according to claim 2 , wherein a metal element of the metal compound is titanium, tin, or zirconium. 4. The method for producing tetraalkoxysilane according to claim 1 , wherein the dehydrating agent(s) is (are) an organic dehydrating agent and/or an inorganic dehydrating agent. 5. The method for producing tetraalkoxysilane according to claim 4 , wherein the organic dehydrating agent is an acetal represented by the following general formula (1), wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 15 carbons, and R represents a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 15 carbons, with the proviso that both of R 1 and R 2 are not a hydrogen atom simultaneously. 6. The method for producing tetraalkoxysilane according to claim 1 , wherein the second step is performed in the presence of an alkali metal compound and/or an alkaline earth metal compound. 7. The method for producing tetraalkoxysilane according to claim 6 , wherein the alkali metal compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal hydroxide, an alkali metal halide, an alkali metal carbonate, and an alkali metal hydrogen carbonate.
