A method of producing a halosiloxane, the method comprising: i) combining water, a halosilane, and a first solvent to form a reaction mixture, ii) partially hydrolyzing and condensing the halosilane to form a reaction product mixture comprising the halosiloxane, the solvent, unreacted halosilane, and hydrogen halide, iii) adding a second solvent, where the second solvent has a boiling point the boiling point of the halosiloxane, to the reaction mixture in i) or to the reaction product mixture in ii), and iv) recovering the halosiloxane from the reaction product mixture. |
