Mg. Voronkov, THE 3RD ROUTE TO THE FORMATION OF THE SI-O-SI-GROUP AND SILOXANE STRUCTURES - TO SILOXANES THROUGH SILANONES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 557(1), 1998, pp. 143-155
the basis of his own and literature data, the author considers and the
oretically substantiates the third route to the formation and decompos
ition of linear and cyclic oligo- nand polysiloxanes, involving intram
olecular reactions of geminal fragmentation of >Si(OR)X group with the
intermediate formation (alpha-elimination) of short lived silanones R
-2'Si=0. The latter further undergo polymerization or insert into the
Si-X bonds (X = 0, Cl, etc.) of trapping reagents. (C) 1998 Elsevier S
