Abstract

Herein we report the first synthesis of 1,5di-( ethylphenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-3,3,7,7-tetraphenylcyclotetrasiloxane using a new 'One Pot' procedure as recently reported for the preparation of strictly alternating 1,1,5,5-tetramethyl-3,3,7,7-tetraphenylcyclotetrasiloxane by the heterofunctional condensation of diphenylsilanediol with (phenylethyl)methyldichlorosilane in the presence of the tertiary amine, triethylamine (Nguyen et al. Silicon 6: 21-26, 2014). The prepared 1,5-di-(ethylphenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-3,3,7,7-tetraphenylcyclotetrasiloxane was fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, H-1, C-13 and Si-29 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetric studies.
