A new method for preparing permethylcyclosiloxanes, based on reaction of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane with iodine (molar ratio 1:1) in inert organic solvents (alkanes, alkyl halides, benzene) is proposed. The products of the reaction react with ethoxytrimethylsilane and tetramethoxysilane in hexamethyldisiloxane to give respectively pentamethyldisiloxane and products of successive substitution of the methoxy groups in Si(OMe)4 by Me2SiHO. A probable scheme of their formation is discussed.
