Abstract
We demonstrated, that based on carvone, new symmetrical AA-type monomers with double bonds can be easily prepared by thiol-ene or Michael addition of dithiols. Moreover, hydrosilylation reaction with difunctional telehelic siloxane, containing Si-H groups was also studied. Obtained monomers are suitable for further polymerization by thiol-ene or hydrosilylation polyaddition.

Scheme 1 depicts the synthesis of different dithiol (1, 2) and siloxane (3) derivatives of carvone. First, we performed Michael-type thiol addition to conjugated cyclohexene double bound in standard conditions.[Citation9] It should be noted, that the product 1 was isolated during the reaction as a separate phase, which can be easily removed and purified simply by rinsing with pure methanol. This compound is remarkable due to content of symmetric functional double bonds and ketogroups. These functional groups can be used for further polymerization and functionalization.
