Abstract: A composition and method can be used in the preparation of various siloxanes. The composition and method employ a fluorinated triarylborane Lewis acid, a hydrocarbonoxy-functional organosilicon compound, and a silyl hydride. The fluorinated triarylborane Lewis acid catalyzes reaction of a hydrocarbonoxy moiety (from the organosilicon compound) and a silicon-bonded hydrogen atom (from the silyl hydride) to form a siloxane bond.

Abstract: A polyfunctional organohydrogensiloxane is prepared using a fluorinated triarylborane Lewis acid as catalyst. The polyfunctional organohydrogensiloxane may be formulated into release coating compositions. Alternatively, the polyfunctional organohydrogensiloxane may be further functionalized with a curable group to form a clustered functional organosiloxane. The clustered functional organosiloxane may be formulated into thermal radical cure adhesive compositions.
