EXAMPLE - Three necked 500 ml flask was charged with 18.16 g alpha-methylstyrene and 27.2x 10-5 g platinum catalyst. The temperature of the resulting mixture was brought to 115 degrees C, then 9.40 g 1,1,3,3 tetramethyldisiloxane was added drop wise and continued to stir until completion of the hydrosilylation reaction. The resulting mixture was vacuum stripped to remove unreacted alpha-methylstyrene by placing on an oil bath at 150 degrees C for 2 hours to give 23.2 g aralkylene substituted disiloxane. To 23.2 g aralkylene substituted disiloxane, 29.6 g chlorosulfonic acid was added drop wise for 30 minutes, while the mixture being stirred at room temperature. The resulting mixture was continued to stir for additional 30 minutes. The vacuum stripping of the reaction mixture was performed at low pressure to give 33 g sulfonated disiloxane as brown viscous oil.
