Abstract

Symmetrical disiloxanes are important class of compounds in silicon chemistry. 1 Some of the symmetrical disiloxanes are known to have important applications as liquid crystals 2 and pharmacologically active compounds 3 (Fig. 1). Recently, they have drawn more attention as useful intermediates in organic synthesis. For example, the recent reports of Napier et al. 4 and Sore et al. 5 show novel applications of aryl disiloxanes and vinyl disiloxanes, respectively, as efficient ...
