Synthesis and Thermal Properties of Bio-Based Janus Ring Siloxanes Incorporating Terpenes and Terpenoids

Niyaz Yagafarov et al. Materials (Basel). .

Abstract

A mild and highly selective hydrosilylation method was employed to synthesize five novel well-defined Janus ring siloxanes bearing terpenes and terpenoids, which are the main bioactive components of essential oils. The characterization of these new bio-sourced molecular materials, derived from hydrosilyl-substituted all-cis-cyclotetrasiloxane, was conducted through comprehensive analyses using multinuclear NMR, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the newly synthesized Janus rings was investigated, and the siloxane skeleton was shown to confer an enhanced thermal stability compared with free terpenes and terpenoids.

Keywords: Janus ring siloxane; all-cis-cyclotetrasiloxane; hydrosilylation; silsesquioxane; terpenes; terpenoids.
