Paragraph 0264, (2017/08/26)
The present invention provides compositions and methods for catalyzing the formation of carbon-silicon bonds using heme proteins. In certain aspects, the present invention provides heme proteins, including variants and fragments thereof, that are capable of carrying out in vitro and in vivo carbene insertion reactions for the formation of carbon-silicon bonds. In other aspects, the present invention provides methods for producing an organosilicon product, the method comprising providing a silicon-containing reagent, a carbene precursor, and a heme protein; and combining the components under conditions sufficient to produce an organosilicon product. Host cells expressing the heme proteins are also provided by the present invention.

Novel aniline terminated silicone monomers with (a) silane (Si--H) functionalities, (b) silanol (Si--OH) functionalities, or (c) alpha,omega-aniline terminated polydimethyl siloxanes, and a novel synthetic route. The alpha,omega-aniline terminated dimethyl siloxanes are prepared, starting with bromoaniline, in which the amine functionality is protected, such as by reaction with 1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(N,N-diethylamino)-1,4-disilabutane, to form 1-(bromophenyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-l-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane. The protected bromoaniline is then reacted with n-butyllithium and chlorodialkylsilane to form 1-((dialkylsilyl)phenyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-l-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane. Next, the protected dimethylsilane aniline is subjected to de-protection to form aminophenyldialkyl silane, which is considered to be novel. This silane is then hydrolyzed to form the corresponding silanol, also considered to be novel. The silanol is then condensed to form bis(amino-phenyl)-1,1,3,3-tetraalkyldisiloxane. The amino group is in either the meta or para position, depending on the position of the bromo functionality in bromoaniline. The disiloxanes may be reacted further to form oligomers and polymers and may also be used to form copolymers.
