Already 1 mol% of subvalent [Ga(PhF)2]+[pf]- ([pf]- = [Al(ORF)4]-, RF = C(CF3)3) initiates the hydrosilylation of olefinic double bonds under mild conditions. Reactions with HSiMe3 and HSiEt3 as substrates efficiently yield anti-Markovnikov and anti-addit

The Mo=PR2 π* orbital in a Mo phosphenium complex acts as acceptor in a new PIII-based Lewis superacid. This Lewis acid (LA) participates in electrophilic Si-H abstraction from E3SiH to give a Mo-bound secondary phosphine ligand, Mo-PR2H. The resulting Et3Si+ ion remains associated with the Mo complex, stabilized by η1-P-H donation, yet undergoes rapid exchange with an η1-Si-H adduct of free silane in solution. The equilibrium between these two adducts presents an opportunity to assess the role of this new LA in catalytic reactions of silanes: is the LA acting as a catalyst or as an initiator? Preliminary results suggest that a cycle including the Mo-bound phosphine-silylium adduct dominates in the catalytic hydrosilylation of acetophenone, relative to a putative cycle involving the silane-silylium adduct or “free” silylium.

Carbon dioxide hydrosilylation with earth-abundant transition-metal catalysts is an attractive alternative for the design of greener and cost-effective synthetic strategies. Herein, simple [Mn(CO)5Br] is an efficient precatalyst in the hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide with Et3SiH under mild reaction conditions. Using THF as a solvent, triethylsilylformate Et3SiCH(O)O was obtained in 67% yield after 1 h at 50 °C and 4 bar of CO2 pressure. The selectivity of the reaction was tuned by changing the solvent to a mixture of THF and toluene producing bis(triethylsilyl)acetal (Et3SiO)2CH2 in 86% yield. The CO2 hydrosilylation was also effective at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using either THF or the mixture THF/toluene as the solvent resulting in high Et3SiH conversion (92%–99%) but with a decrease in the selectivity. Radical trapping experiments indicated the participation of radical species in the catalytic mechanism. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on CO2 hydrosilylation catalyzed by transition-metal radical intermediates.
