Claims
- 1. A process comprising contacting a carbonyl compound with an organosilicon hydride under reaction conditions to form a silyl ether in the presence of a catalytic amount of at least one iron group transition metal carbonyl coordination compound and elevated temperature.
- 2. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said temperature is 35.degree. C. or higher.
- 3. A process as defined in claim 2 wherein said temperature is in a range from about 60.degree. C. to about 110.degree. C.
