EXAMPLE I

Preparation of the Trimethylsilyl Ester of Propenoic Acid

[0105] The trimethylsilyl ester of propenoic acid was prepared by reaction of propenoic acid and hexamethyldisilazane. Thus, 13.3 grams (0.133 mole) of propenoic acid (obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.) was charged to a 100 milliliter round bottomed flask fitted with a condenser, argon purge, rubber serum cap, and magnetic stirring bar. After purging for about 15 minutes, 11.8 grams (0.73 mole) of hexamethyldisilazane (obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co.) was added through the serum cap via syringe. The reaction mixture exothermed, and vigorous outgassing was observed for 15 to 20 minutes. A drop of concentrated sulfuric acid was then added and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours to drive the reaction to completion. The flask was then fitted with a vacuum-jacketed Vigreux column, distillation head, and condenser with fraction cutter. The product was isolated by distillation and was used in Example II.

EXAMPLE II

Preparation of Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methyl (carboxypentanoyl) siloxane)-graft-methoxypolvethylene glycol

[0106] Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methyl (carboxyltrimethylsilylpentanoyl)siloxane)-graft-methoxypolyethylene glycol was prepared by hydrosilylation of a mixture of the trimethylsilylester of propenoic acid (prepared in Example I) and methoxy polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether (Bimax Chemical, Cockeysville Md.) catalyzed by platinum divinyltetramethyl disiloxane complex (SIP 6831.0, obtained from Gelest, Inc., Tullytown Pa.). Thus, 19.8 grams (0.05 equivalents) of poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methyl hydrogen siloxane) containing 15 to 18 mole percent (MeHSiO) (HMS 151, obtained from Gelest, Inc., Tullytown, Pa.), 3.5 grams (0.035 equivalents) of trimethylsilyl pentenoic acid (0.020 equivalents) of methoxy polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether, and 28 grams of methylene chloride were charged to a 50 milliliter bottle equipped with a magnetic stirring bar. The solution was purged with argon for 15 minutes prior to the introduction of 4 drops of SIP 6831.0. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 4 days at ambient temperature. At this time the reaction was judged to be complete on the basis of the disappearance of the characteristic Si—H infrared band at 2160-2180 cm−1. Water was then added to the reaction mixture, and hydrolysis was effected by heating the mixture on a steam cone. The water and methylene chloride were then removed in vacuo. Methylene chloride was added and the resulting solution was passed through a column filled with neutral alumina to remove spent Pt catalyst. Removal of methylene chloride in vacuo yielded the desired product.

EXAMPLE III

Preparation of Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methyl(3-Propyl(2-hydroxybenzophenone)siloxane)-graft-methoxypolyethylene glycol)

[0107] Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methyl(3-propyl(2-hydroxybenzophenone) siloxane)-graft-methoxypolyethylene glycol) was prepared by hydrosilylation of a mixture of allyloxyhydroxybenzophenone and methoxy polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether catalyzed by platinum divinyltetramethyl disiloxane complex (SIP 6831.0, obtained from Gelest, Inc., Tullytown Pa.). Thus, 19.8 grams (0.05 equivalents) of poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methyl hydrogen siloxane) containing 15 to 18 mole percent (MeHSiO) (HMS 151, obtained from Gelest, Inc., Tullytown, Pa.), 0.035 equivalents of allyloxyhydroxybenzophenone, 0.020 equivalents of methoxy polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether, and 28 grams of methylene chloride were charged to a 50 milliliter bottle equipped with a magnetic stirring bar. The solution was purged with argon for 15 minutes prior to the introduction of 4 drops of SIP 6831.0. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 4 days at ambient temperature. At this time the reaction was judged to be complete on the basis of the disappearance of the characteristic Si—H infrared band at 2160-2180 cm−1. Additional methylene chloride was added and the resulting solution was passed through a column filled with neutra alumina to remove spent Pt catalyst. Removal of methylene chloride in vacuo yielded the desired product.
