Abstract

Linear or straight-chain trimethylsiloxy endcapped methylhydrogen polysiloxanes are made by contacting hexamethyldisiloxane with a highly pure methylhydrogen cyclic siloxane, in the presence of anhydrous trifluoromethane sulfonic acid catalyst at room temperature. Trimethylsiloxy endcapped alkylmethyl siloxanes are made by reacting the linear or straight-chain trimethylsiloxy endcapped methylhydrogen polysiloxanes with an alpha-olefin, in the presence of a platinum catalyst. Alkylmethyl cyclic siloxanes containing zero parts per million residual .tbd.SiH, are made by reacting anhydrous alpha-olefins and a highly pure methylhydrogen cyclic siloxane, in the presence of dried platinum supported on carbon catalyst.
