The Use of the Thiol-Ene Addition Click Reaction in the Chemistry of Organosilicon Compounds: An Alternative or a Supplement to the Classical Hydrosilylation?

Polymers (Basel). 2022 Jul 29;14(15):3079. doi: 10.3390/polym14153079.

Abstract

This review presents the main achievements in the use of the thiol-ene reaction in the chemistry of silicones. Works are considered, starting from monomers and ending with materials.The main advantages and disadvantages of this reaction are demonstrated using various examples. A critical analysis of the use of this reaction is made in comparison with the hydrosilylation reaction.

Keywords: click reaction; hydrosilylation; organosilicon compounds; thiol-ene.
