An efficient solvent-free procedure for the preparation of alkoxybenzylmethylsilanes by organomagnesium synthesis was developed. The reaction conditions gave the high yields of the target products. A number of benzylmethylsiloxane polymers was synthesized by polycondensation of alkoxybenzylmethylsilanes in anhydrous acetic acid. The products obtained can become a good alternative to phenylsiloxanes in some practical applications.
