{alpha},{omega}-dibenzaldehyde oligosiloxanes have been synthesized by hydrosilylation of 4-allyloxy benzaldehyde by {alpha},{omega}-DiSiH oligosiloxanes. The hydrosilylating system has been studied to characterize the side-reactions and to determine the optimal conditions leading to well-defined telechelic oligosiloxanes. This new functionalization of oligosiloxanes turned attention towards its condensation with amine antagonist end-groups. Two examples are discussed: on one hand with diamino aromatic compounds to obtain new main-chain thermotropic polyazomethine-b-polysiloxane polymers, on the other with {alpha},{omega}-diamino aliphatic polyamides that led to polysiloxane-b-polyamide copolymers. In both cases the polyimination condensation was rapid and allowed the authors to obtain new block-polymers, whose average molar masses are in the 15,000-25,000 range.
