A process for preparing α, ω-functional siloxane compounds in a purity of greater than or equal to 90% includes contacting a monohydrosiloxane compound of formula 1 n nwith oxygen in the presence of a platinum group catalyst, without adding water, to form the α, ω-functional siloxane compound in a purity of greater than or equal to 90%;n nwherein n is 0, 1, or 2;n R 1 is fluoroethyl, methyl or phenyl; and R 2 is substituted alkyl, epoxyalkyl, oxetanylalkyl, substituted oxaalkyl, epoxyoxaalkyl, oxetanyloxaalkyl, alkenyl, alkylalkoxysilyl, substituted alkylaryl, and substituted arylalkyl. |
