New all-cis-tetra(p-tolyl)cyclotetrasiloxanetetraol and its functionalization

Abstract

New all-cis-tetra(p-tolyl)cyclotetrasiloxanetetraol and its derivatives with Si(CH = CH2)Me and Si(H)Me2 groups have been prepared and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, GPC, mass spectrometry, TGA and DSC. Molecular and crystalline structures of the tetraol and its derivative with four Si(CH = CH2)Me groups have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
