Patent ID: 7576170

Claim:
An alcohol or carbonyl compound releasing siloxane selected from the group of siloxanes consisting of siloxanes having the formulas where R 1 and R 2 are independently hydrogen or monovalent C 1 -C 24 hydrocarbon radical, the subscript n is at least 1 or greater, while the subscripts p and q are independently positive subject to the limitation that n+p+q is greater than or equal to 3; R 3 and R 4 are each independently hydrogen or a monovalent C 1 -C 24 hydrocarbon radicals; the subscripts r and u are each independently at least 1 or greater, while the subscripts s and t are each independently positive subject to the limitation that the sum r+s+t+u is greater than or equal to 4; and O-Frag is independently active alkoxide or enolate moieties derived from corresponding active alcohols or carbonyl-containing compounds.
