Aza-Michael reaction is a simple and accessible addition reaction performed at moderate temperature, possibly without a catalyst and without releasing by-products. Its versatility allows designing specific structures thanks to the availability of a multitude of Michael acceptors and Michael donors. The reaction rate of the aza-Michael reaction can be improved by adding different co-reactants (polar protic solvents, catalysts) and/or adjusting the external energy sources (e.g. moderate to high temperatures or high pressures). Here, we show that this addition reaction is efficient for modifying or curing silicon-containing molecules, oligomers and polymers. The pros and cons of applying the aza-Michael reaction to silicon-containing molecules (including alkoxysilanes and PDMS) are highlighted. A large variety of intermediates such as coupling agents, reactive diluents, and sol-gel precursors prepared by the aza-Michael reaction are presented. Finally, applications of these, including products ranging from functional silicone intermediates to soft (unfilled) elastomers, are reported.

氮杂-迈克尔反应是在中等温度下进行的简单且易于接近的加成反应，可能没有催化剂也没有释放副产物。由于具有多种迈克尔受体和迈克尔供体，其多功能性允许设计特定的结构。氮杂-迈克尔反应的反应速率可以通过添加不同的共反应物（极性质子溶剂，催化剂）和/或调节外部能源（例如中度到高温或高压）来提高。在这里，我们表明该加成反应对于改性或固化含硅分子，低聚物和聚合物是有效的。突出了将氮杂-迈克尔反应应用于含硅分子（包括烷氧基硅烷和PDMS）的利弊。各种各样的中间体，例如偶联剂，给出了反应性稀释剂和通过aza-Michael反应制备的溶胶-凝胶前体。最后，报道了这些产品的应用，包括从功能性有机硅中间体到软（未填充）弹性体的产品。
