Siloxide
Sign in to saveSiloxides are chemical compounds with the formula R3SiOM, where R is usually an organic group and M is usually a metal cation. Also called silanolates, they are derived by deprotonation of silanols. They also arise by the degradation of siloxanes by base: R3SiOSiR3 + 2 NaOH → 2 R3SiONa + H2O

Cleavage of cyclic siloxanes affords siloxides: (Me2SiO)3 + MeLi → Me3SiOSiMe2OSiMe2OLi
