The discovery that the rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilation of unsaturated
epoxides with compounds containing two Si - H functional groups procee
ds in a discrete, stepwise fashion, has made possible the synthesis of
a series of interesting compounds containing both Si - H and epoxy gr
oups in the same molecule. These compounds can be used both as an inte
resting new class of epoxy monomers as well as intermediates for the p
reparation of a wide variety of novel monomers which incorporate epoxi
de as well as other types of polymerizable functional groups. (C) 1993
