SILP Materials as Effective Catalysts in Selective Monofunctionalization of 1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane

Functionalized siloxanes are one of the most important classes of organosilicon compounds, thus the enhancement of current methods of its synthesis is an important issue. Herein, we present the selective and highly effective reaction between 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) and 1-octene (1-oct), using SILP (supported ionic liquid phase) materials containing a rhodium catalyst immobilized in three phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) differing in the structure of cation. Studies have shown high potential for using SILP materials as catalysts due to their high catalytic activity and selectivity, easy separation process, and the possibility of reusing the catalyst in subsequent reaction cycles without adding a new portion of the catalyst. Using the most active SILP material SiO2/[P66614][NTf2]/[{Rh(μ-OSiMe3)(cod)}2] allows for reuse of the catalyst at least 50 times in an efficient and highly selective monofunctionalization of TMDSO.
