The controlled synthesis of oligosiloxanes with well-defined structures is important for the bottom-up design of siloxane-based nanomaterials. This work reports the synthesis of various polycyclic and cage siloxanes by the hydrolysis and intramolecular condensation of monocyclic tetra- and hexasiloxanes functionalized with various alkoxysilyl groups. An investigation of monoalkoxysilylated cyclosiloxanes revealed that intramolecular condensation occurred preferentially between adjacent alkoxysilyl groups to form new tetrasiloxane rings. The study of dialkoxy- and trialkoxysilylated cyclotetrasiloxanes revealed multistep intramolecular condensation reactions to form cubic octasiloxanes in relatively high yields. Unlike conventional methods starting from organosilane monomers, intramolecular condensation enables the introduction of different organic substituents in controlled arrangements. So-called Janus cubes have been successfully obtained, that is, Ph4R4Si8O12, in which R=Me, OSiMe3, and OSiMe2Vi (Vi=vinyl). These findings will enable the creation of siloxane-based materials with diverse functions.

A preparatively facile, highly selective synthesis of bifunctional monosilanes R2SiHCl, RSiHCl2 and RSiH2Cl is reported. By chlorination of R2SiH2 and RSiH3 with concentrated HCl/ether solutions, the stepwise introduction of Si?Cl bonds is readily controlled by temperature and reaction time for a broad range of substrates. In a combined experimental and computational study, we establish a new mode of Si?H bond activation assisted by Lewis bases such as ethers, amines, phosphines, and chloride ions. Elucidation of the underlying reaction mechanisms shows that alcohol assistance through hydrogen-bond networks is equally efficient and selective. Remarkably, formation of alkoxysilanes or siloxanes is not observed under moderate reaction conditions.

Page/Page column 12-13, (2009/10/22)
This invention involves a process for the preparation of haloalkylalkoxysilanes and haloalkylhalosilancs. The process comprises reacting an alkoxyhydridosilane or a halohydridosilanc silane with an alkenylhalide compound in the presence of a catalytic amount of an iridium containing catalyst. When a halohydridosilane is the silane rcactant. the resulting haloalkylhalosilane may be alkoxylatcd by reaction with a C1-C6, alcohol, In another aspect of the invention, the reacting is conducted under a reduced oκygen atmosphere to improve the catalyst activity and the yield of the resulting haloalkylhalosilane or halυalkylalkυx vsi lane.
