Chlorosilanes are known to react with alcohols, which are very weak acids, to form silyl ethers and HCl gas (Butts, M., et al., 2002. Silicones. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)). Phenols are significantly stronger acids than alcohols, and so are even more likely to undergo the same reaction.
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)
- Acid Fumes
