- Metal-free hydrogen evolution cross-coupling enabled by synergistic photoredox and polarity reversal catalysis
-
A synergistic combination of photoredox and polarity reversal catalysis enabled a hydrogen evolution cross-coupling of silanes with H2O, alcohols, phenols, and silanols, which afforded the corresponding silanols, monosilyl ethers, and disilyl ethers, respectively, in moderate to excellent yields. The dehydrogenative cross-coupling of Si-H and O-H proceeded smoothly with broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility in the presence of only an organophotocatalyst 4-CzIPN and a thiol HAT catalyst, without the requirement of any metals, external oxidants and proton reductants, which is distinct from the previously reported photocatalytic hydrogen evolution cross-coupling reactions where a proton reduction cocatalyst such as a cobalt complex is generally required. Mechanistically, a silyl cation intermediate is generated to facilitate the cross-coupling reaction, which therefore represents an unprecedented approach for the generation of silyl cationviavisible-light photoredox catalysis.

- An Efficient Catalyst for the Conversion of Hydrosilanes to Alkoxysilanes
-
The copper(I) hydride 6 is an efficient catalyst for the alcoholysis of primary and secondary silanes.The reactions proceed at room temperature within a few hours and give the alkoxysilanes in high yields.Only with bulky alcohols or silanes are longer reaction times and/or increased temperatures required.The presence of air accelarates the reactions and gives rise to higher yields of alkoxysilanes, particularly with bulky alcohols.Diols react with PhRSiH2 (R = Me, Ph) to afford 1,3-dioxo-2-silacycloalkanes and with tertiary silanes to furnish the bissilylated diols.When unsaturated alcohols (2-propen-1-ol or 2-propyn-1-ol) are employed, the double or triple bond is retained. - Keywords: Catalytic silane alcoholysis; Alkoxysilanes

- Conversion of hydrosilanes to alkoxysilanes catalyzed by Cp2TiCl2/nBuLi
-
The combination of Cp2TiCl2 and nBuLi provides an effective catalyst for alcoholysis of the model silanes n-HexSiH3, PhMeSiH2, Ph2SiH2 and PhMe2SiH by ethanol, isopropanol, t-butyl alcohol and phenol.Increasing the steric bulk of the substituents on either the alcohol or the silane generally requires longer reaction periods and/or increasing temperature.All SiH bonds are converted to SiOEt groups by ethanol and a single SiH bond in secondary silanes and two SiH bonds in tertiary silanes are replaced by t-butyl alcohol.Diols including pinacol, 2,4-pentanediol and 2,5-hexanediol react with PhRSiH2 (R = Me, Ph) to give 1,3-dioxa-2-silacyclopentanes, -hexanes and -heptanes, respectively.Attempts to form caged structures by condensation of primary silanes and triols was unsuccessful.Hydrolysis of PhRSiH2 is promoted by Cp2TiCl2/n-BuLi and the siloxane is produced in quantitative yield when R = Ph and a mixture of linear disiloxanes and trisiloxanes in addition to cyclopolysilanes are produced when R = Me.Other protic reagents including acids, mercaptans, amines and enolizable ketones did not react.The effects of reaction parameters such as temperature, silane to catalyst ratio, solvent, transition metal and replacements for nBuLi were also determined.
