1,1,3,3-Tetramethyl-1,3-divinyldisiloxane


1,1,3,3-Tetramethyl-1,3-divinyldisiloxane is the organosilicon compound with the formula O2. Usually referred to as tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane, it is a colorless liquid that is employed as a ligand in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. The ligand is a component of Karstedt's catalyst. Tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane was first prepared by hydrolysis of vinyldimethylmethoxysilane, Me2SiOMe.
