Scheme 1. Methanolysis of a symmetric (Et, OEt)-PDMS producing (Et, OMe)-, (Et, OH)-, (Me, OMe)-, (Me, OH)- and (H, OH)-PDMS chains. The hydroxy terminations are highlighted in pink, light red and red for the symmetric (H, OH)-PDMS and the asymmetric (Me, OH)- and (Et, OH)-PDMS, respectively. Associated symbols (pink squares, light red circles and red triangles) will be used in the ESI(+/−) mass spectra.
