Phosphone ester modified organosilicon compounds are prepared by reacting phosphonic ester-functionalized alkoxysilane with a silanol-functional organosilicon compound. The product is produced in high yield and purity.

Method for the production of organosiloxanes modified by a phosphonic acid ester

Liquid-crystalline polyorganosiloxanes containing methacryloxy and/or acryloxy groups are prepared by reaction of polyorganosiloxanes containing hydrogen atoms bonded directly to silicon atoms with alkenes and/or alkynes containing mesogenic groups in two steps, wherein the polyorganosiloxanes mentioned are reacted in a first step with alkene and/or alkyne containing mesogenic groups and are reacted in a second step with an alkene and/or alkyne containing at least one methacryloxy and/or acryloxy group and mesogenic groups.

Process for the preparation of liquid-crystalline polyorganosiloxanes

The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline compounds and to a process for preparing liquid-crystalline polyorganosiloxanes having methacryloxy and/or acryloxy groups by the reaction of organosiloxanes having hydrogen atoms bonded directly to silicon atoms and/or organosilanes which can be condensed to form organosiloxanes having hydrogen atoms bonded directly to silicon atoms, with alkenes and/or alkynes having mesogenic groups, which comprises reacting in a first step the organosiloxanes with an alkene and/or alkyne having at least one non-enolic hydroxyl group protected by a protective group, and in a second step the protective group is removed and the hydroxyl group which is now free is esterified with (meth)acrylic acid, esters, anhydrides and/or halides thereof and thereafter optionally condensing the organosilanes to organosiloxanes.
