Polydimethylsiloxane bearing various final groups: chloropropyl, hydroxypro
pyl, chloromethyl, trimethylsiloxy, hydrogen, hydroxy were obtained by equi
libration of D-4 with the corresponding disiloxanes via cation exchanger ca
talysis. Prescribed molecular weights were obtained in all these cases, exc
epting the last one. It was established that the disloxanes reactivity decr
eases with the increase of the silicon :substituents electronegativity.
