Novel Synthesis of sulfonated Silicones.

Abstract

Treatment of silyl ketene acetal-derivatized silicones with trimethylsilyl sulfonyl chloride, followed by hydrolysis in mild base, affords sulfonated silicones in high yield. Silicones having about 90% sulfonate pendants are water soluble, and may be used a new dopants for conducting polymers. These polyanions may also have use as polymer electrolytes having exclusively cation conduction.
