Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, also known as D6, is a cyclic siloxane with the formula [(CH3)2SiO]6. It is a colorless, odorless, and highly volatile liquid. D6 is a key component in silicone fluids and polymers. Its synthesis typically involves the hydrolysis of dimethyldichlorosilane followed by ring closure. D6 is studied extensively due to its wide range of applications, including its use as a lubricant, a sealant, and a component in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Research efforts focus on understanding its properties, developing new synthesis methods, and exploring its potential in various industrial and biomedical applications. '
