Synthesis of new functional siloxane derivatives of limonene. Part I: Combination of hydrosilylation and hydrothiolation reactions

This article discusses the synthesis of mono- and difunctional siloxane derivatives of limonene obtained by hydrosilylation followed by hydrothiolation. It has been shown that, because of the different reactivity of the double bonds present in the limonene molecule, selective addition to one of them can be performed, which opens the possibility of obtaining various siloxane derivatives of limonene that can be used as initial monomers in the synthesis of polymers.Graphical abstract
