The palladium catalyzed cross-coupling of organosilicon compounds and aryl halides found only limited application with azines compared to the Suzuki or Negishi coupling. In a recent paper DeShong reported the efficient coupling of bromopyridine derivatives with aryl siloxanes (7.44.) 62 The transmetalating ability of the siloxane was enhanced by the addition of tetrabutylammonium fluoride. 

The chromatographic absorption analysis of alkyl and alkyl-aryl siloxanes has been studied483. The sample in methanolic solution is applied to a column of activated carbon and the straight-chain components, i.e. (CH3)3Si0[Si(CH3)(C6H5)0]MSi(CH3)3, are eluted (as a mixture) with methanol, followed by the cyclic species, e.g. [Si(CH3)(C6H5)0]M, which are eluted with benzene. Some separation of the straight-chain components was achieved by successive elution with methanol, ethanol and butanol, and of the cyclic components by successive elution with acetone and benzene. 

Readily available functionalized aryl siloxanes are also viable cross-coupling partners for Pd(dba)2-catalyzed allylic arylations. A mixture of 5% Pd(dba)2, allylic halide, and in situ-generated aryl zinc reagent produces allylated arenes in high yield. Aryl boronic acids have been converted to allylated arenes as well. Diastereoselective intramolecular Stille-type coupling of two allylic moieties (aUylic acetate and allylic stannane) has been performed in high yield to produce the key intermediate in the synthesis of racemic 10-ep/-elemol (eq 19). ... 

Cross-coupling reactions leading to the formation of C-X (X = heteroatom) bonds catalyzed by Pd(dba)2 have been reported. Aniline derivatives have been prepared via reaction of amine nucleophiles with aryl halides in the presence of Pd(dba)2 and phosphines, especially P( Bu)3. Likewise, diaryl and aryl alkyl ethers are produced from aryl halides (Cl, Br, I) and sodium aryloxides and alkoxides under similar conditions. Conditions effective for the coupling of aryl chlorides with amines, boronic acids, and ketone enolates using an easily prepared phosphine chloride as a ligand have recently been uncovered (eq 22). The preparation of aryl siloxanes and allyl boronates via Pd(dba)2-catalyzed C-Si and C-B coupling have been reported as well.

Silicone polymers such as ethoxylated aryl/organosiloxane polymer and siloxane glycol/PAG copolymer also are used occasionally. 

Table 16 shows various characteristics of segmented siloxane-(aryl ester) block copolymers. The effect of the variation in the polyester backbone was also studied by replacing bisphenol-A with tetramethyl substituted bisphenol-A. The major difference in these systems was an increase in the high temperature Tg to around 210 to 215 °C 193). 

Thus, Andrianov et al. (26) attempted to catalyze polymerization of a number of alkyl and alkyl/aryl cyclosilazanes using catalytic amounts of KOH or other strong bases at temperatures of up to 300°C. In general, the reactions proceed with evolution of NHj, hydrocarbons and the formation of intractable, crosslinked, brittle products even at low temperatures. Contrary to what is observed with cyclotri-siloxanes, no evidence was found for the formation of linear poly-silazanes. Copolymerization of mixtures of cyclosilazanes and cyclosiloxanes gave somewhat more tractable polymers with less evolution of hydrocarbons or ammonia, however very little was done to characterize the resulting materials. 

Another variation of this method involves the treatment of an acetonitrile solution of the aryl aldehyde, trimethylsilyl chloride, and either sodium iodide, if iodide products are desired, or lithium bromide, if bromide products are desired, with TMDO. After an appropriate reaction time (5-195 minutes) at a temperature in the range of —70° to 80°, the upper siloxane layer is removed and the benzyl iodide or bromide product is isolated from the remaining lower portion after precipitation of the inorganic salts by addition of dichloromethane. For example, p-anisaldehyde reacts to form /i-rnethoxybenzyl bromide in 84% isolated yield under these conditions (Eq. 200).314,356... 

Denmark pursued intramolecular alkyne hydrosilylation in the context of generating stereodefined vinylsilanes for cross-coupling chemistry (Scheme 21). Cyclic siloxanes from platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation were used in a coupling reaction, affording good yields with a variety of aryl iodides.84 The three steps are mutually compatible and can be carried out as a one-pot hydro-arylation of propargylic alcohols. The isomeric trans-exo-dig addition was also achieved. Despite the fact that many catalysts for terminal alkyne hydrosilylation react poorly with internal alkynes, the group found that ruthenium(n) chloride arene complexes—which provide complete selectivity for trans-... 

Silicone materials play an active role in enabling some of the analytical techniques. Thus, surface-modified silicone was described as a substrate in plastic microarray devices for DNA analysis.638 Thermally stable aryl-substituted siloxanes are often used as stationary phases in capillary-gas chromatography.639 The use of silicone membranes in various separation techniques was already mentioned.
