Hydrosilylation of allyl carbamates by poly (methylhydrosiloxane) (PMH
S) catalyzed by platinum- or rhodium-based complexes was investigated.
About 10% of the carbamate molecules decompose during the hydrosilyla
tion reaction through the cleavage of the carbamate bond. A redistribu
tion process also takes place among the polysiloxane chains resulting
in the formation of branched polymers but no crosslinking occurs. A me
chanism for this side-reaction is proposed. (C) 1993 John Wiley & Sons
