A method for producing silacycloalkanes by reacting an alkoxysilane, R1ySi(OR2)4-y with a Grignard reagent, XMgR3 MgX where each R1 is independently an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, a hydrogen atom, or CF3; each R2 is independently an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; y has a value of 1 or 2; R3 is selected from an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and X is a halogen. |
