New divinyl- and diallyl-borasiloxanes have been synthesized in good y
ield from corresponding boronic acids. They have been characterized by
H-1-, C-13-, Si-29- and B-11-NMR, as well as by MS. Their behavior in
metathesis reactions initiated by two different catalysts ([RhCl(COD)
](2) for vinylsiloxanes and [Mo] Schrock's catalyst for allylsiloxanes
) has been studied. This has led to new cycloborasiloxanes that have b
een characterized. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
