A simplified alternative for the synthesis of carbohydrate-modified siloxanes is described. The starting siloxane precursors contain glycidyl functional groups, which react with glucose in dimethylformamide (DMF), in the presence of a gel type cation exchanger. The method eliminates protection-deprotection reactions, as well as moisture-sensitive or multiple reaction steps. Glycidylfunctionalized siloxane compounds are commercially available, but can be easily obtained in the desired architecture or chain length by hydrosilylation. Two examples are presented, describing the synthesis of a glucose-modified disiloxane and a siloxane copolymer bearing pendant glucose units. 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to confirm their structure. Evidence for the preservation of the polysiloxane chain after the reaction was obtained by 1 H-NMR, thus confirming the non-invasive role of wet gel-type cation exchanger in chemical modifications of siloxane copolymers. The water-soluble disiloxane compound exhibited typical surfactant behavior, with a critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of 6.3 × 10 −4 mol/L (determined by tensiometry) and an equilibrium surface tension of 32.8 mN/m. The obtained copolymer, incompletely modified with glucose, exhibited two glass transition temperatures by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
