Hydrocarbyl silyl (poly) carboxylatas are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis. Indeed, they are considered as highly reactive coupling and silylating agents. Accordingly, the economic production of the silyl carboxylate monomer will make an important contribution to commercial systems.
Several processes are known for the synthesis of acyloxysilanes.
T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts disclose in “Protective groups in organic synthesis” (J. Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 3rd. ed., 1999) the synthesis of acyloxysilane from carboxylic acid and silicon halide in the presence of a base.
The reaction of silyl hydrides with carboxylic acids in the presence of various metal catalysts to provide acyloxysilanes is disclosed in Zh. Obshch. Khim. 24, 861, 1954, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jap. 62(2), 211, 1989 and in Org. Letters 2(8), 1027, 2000. These methods have the disadvantage of releasing hydrogen as by product.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,379,766 discloses the reaction of a carboxylic acid salt with a silicon halide in the presence of phase transfer catalysts to produce acyloxysilane. This reaction has the disadvantage to yield as by-product a halide salt, which has to be removed by filtration.
J. Valade describes in “C. R. Acad. Sci.” n° 246, pp.952-953 (1958) that silyl esters were obtained by the reaction at reflux of disiloxanes with acetic anhydride or benzoic anhydride in the presence of zinc chloride.
Reaction mechanisms of nucleophilic attack at silicon have been disclosed in the literature. Bassindale et al, The Chemistry of Organic Silicon Compounds, chapter 13, J Wiley & Sons 1989, discloses extensive reaction mechanisms for silicon. However, the nucleophilic reaction mechanisms relate to halo substituted silicon type compounds and these are encouraged by the halogen leaving group.
EP 056108A1 (Dow Corning Corporation) discloses the acid catalysed reaction of alkoxysilanes with carboxylic acids to produce alkyl carboxylates and disiloxanes.
Nakao et al, Bulletin of the Chemical Society Japan, 54, 1267-1268 (1981) discloses the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols in the presence of trimethyl chlorosilane. The reaction is said to proceed via the intermediate alkoxy trimethyl silane and produces the alkyl ester in high yield together with disiloxane. The yields of methyl acetate are 96-98%.
Roth et al (Journal of Organometallic Chemistry 521 (1996) 65-74) disclose a study of the reactions of tartaric acid with triethoxysilane to study the extent of liberation of hydrogen gas. For spectroscopic comparative purposes, acetoxytriethoxysilane was prepared. The production of acetoxy triethoxy silane is carried out by the reaction of acetic anhydride with tetra-ethoxysilane at high temperature for ten hours. The product produced only 9% yield. It has also been shown (Lesnov et al. Zh. Obshch. Khim, 29, 1959, 1518) that diethyl diethoxy silanes will polymerise with monocarboxylic acids to produce polydiethyl siloxanes and the ethyl esters of the acid. The authors suggest that, diethyl diacetoxysilane was formed as an intermediate in the production of the polydiethylsiloxanes. The intermediate was formed in low yield. Furthermore, the document indicates that the production of intermediate diacetoxysilane in the presence of the alcohol leads to the formation of the corresponding alkyl esters.
JP 50020053 discloses silylation reaction of chloro and acyloxy silanes with hydroxyl containing organic compounds in the presence of formamide.
R Corriu, R Perez and C Reye Tetrahedron 39, 6 999 (1982) disclose the catalytic effect of fluoride anions in reactions at silicon of various silyl hydrides, ethers and amines.

Preferably, the silaphilic catalysts have an electron rich heteroatom such as oxygen or nitrogen. Typically, the hetero atom is substituted with electron donating groups.
Lewis acid catalysts may also be used to catalyse the process of the present invention. Accordingly, for the purposes of the present invention, the term “silaphilic catalyst” should be taken as incorporating Lewis acid catalysts such as titanium butoxide (TiOBu)4).
Said catalyst may, for example, be a metal alkoxide, an organic tin compound such as dibutyltin dilaurate, dibutyltin dioctiate or dibutyltin diacetate, or a boron compound such as boron butoxide or boric acid. Illustrative examples of metal alkoxide include aluminum triethoxide, aluminum triisopropoxide, aluminum tributoxide, aluminum tri-sec-butoxide, aluminum diisopropoxy-sec-butoxide, aluminum diisopropoxyacetyl acetonate, aluminum di-sec-butoxyacetyl acetanoate, aluminum diisopropoxyethyl acetoacetate, aluminum di-sec-butoxyethylacetoacetate, aluminum trisacetyl acetonate, aluminum trisethylaceto acetate, aluminum acetylacetonate bisethylacetoacetate, titanium tetraethoxide, titanium tetraisopropoxide, titanium (IV) butoxide, titanium diisopropoxybisacetyl acetonate, titanium diisopropoxybisethyl acetoacetate, titanium tetra-2-ethylhexyloxide, titanium diisopropoxybis (2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediolate), titanium dibutoxybis (triethanolaminate), zirconium tetrabutoxide, zirconium tetraisopropoxide, zirconium tetramethoxide, zirconium tributoxide monoacetylacetonate, zirconium dibutoxide bisacetylacetonate, zirconium butoxide trisacetylacetonate, zirconium tetraacetylacetonate, zirconium tributoxide monoethylacetoacetate, zirconium dibutoxide bisethylacetoacetate, zirconium butoxide trisethylacetoacetate and zirconium tetraethylacetoacetate.

Advantageously, although the prior art describes the reaction of alkoxysilanes with carboxylic acid as leading to the corresponding alkylcarboxylates and the silanol (path A), the latter tending to dehydrate to form disiloxanes. It has been surprisingly discovered that the use of a silaphilic catalyst (i.e. a catalyst able to coordinate in a reversible manner with the silicon atom) allows preferential substitution of alkoxy or hydroxyl groups by the carboxyl group (path B).
