- Synthesis of hydrosilanes: Via Lewis-base-catalysed reduction of alkoxy silanes with NaBH4
-
Hydrosilanes were synthesized by reduction of alkoxy silanes with BH3 in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) as a Lewis-base catalyst. The reaction was also achieved using an inexpensive and easily handled hydride source NaBH4, which reacted with EtBr as a sacrificial reagent to form BH3in situ.

- Bypassing a highly unstable frustrated Lewis pair: Dihydrogen cleavage by a thermally robust silylium-phosphine adduct
-
The thermally robust silylium complex [iPr3Si-PtBu3]+[B(C6F5)4]- (1) activates H2/D2 at 90 °C (PhCl); no evidence for dissociation into the separated Lewis pair is found. DFT calculations show H2 cleavage proceeds via Si-P bond elongation to form an encounter complex directly from the adduct, thus avoiding the non-isolable iPr3Si+-PtBu3 FLP. This journal is

- Catalytic hydrodefluorination of fluoroaromatics with silanes as hydrogen source at a binuclear rhodium complex: Characterization of key intermediates
-
Stoichiometric and catalytic hydrodefluorination reactions of fluorinated aromatic substrates on using [Rh(μ-H)(dippp)]2 (1) (dippp = 1,3-bis(diisopropylphosphino)propane) as catalyst and HSiEt3 as a hydrogen source are reported. Treatment of the hydrido complex 1 with the fluoroarenes gave the fluorido complex [Rh(μ-F)(dippp)]2 (2) and organic hydrodefluorination products. An unusual ortho-selectivity was observed in the reaction of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine and pentafluorobenzene giving the 1,2-hydrodefluorinated products. The binuclear structure of complex 2 in the solid state was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The fluorido complex 2 reacted with HSiEt3 and HSiiPr3 by elimination of the corresponding fluorosilanes to afford the η2-silane hydrido complexes [Rh(H)(η2-HSiEt3)(dippp)] (3) and [Rh(H)(η2-HSiiPr3)(dippp)] (4), respectively. The structures of the complexes 3 and 4 were derived from NMR data and DFT calculations. Catalytic reactions of pentafluoropyridine, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro- pyridine or 2,3,5,6-tetra-fluoropyridine, hexa- and pentafluorobenzene with HSiEt3 in the presence of 5 mol% of 1 afforded hydrodefluorination products with up to 19 turnovers after 48 h at 50 C. In contrast to the stoichiometric reactions, the catalytic transformations resulted predominantly in hydrodefluorinations at the para-position of the nitrogen atom in the heterocycles giving evidence for two different C-F activation pathways. Compound 3 can be considered to be an intermediate in the catalytic hydrodefluorinations of the fluoroarenes.

- Versatile method for introduction of bulky substituents to alkoxychlorosilanes
-
The reactions of various alkoxytrichlorosilanes prepared in situ from tetrachlorosilane and alcohols, with Grignard reagents bearing a bulky substituent such as the isopropyl, sec-butyl, and cyclohexyl group afforded triisopropyl-, tri(sec-butyl)-, and tricyclohexylalkoxysilane in high yields. The reactions of n-butoxytrichlorosilane with these Grignard reagents produced triisopropyl-, tri(sec-butyl)-, and tricyclohexyl(n-butoxy)silane in 94%, 96%, and 92% yields, respectively. Methoxymethyldichlorosilane reacted with the same Grignard reagents to give diisopropyl-, di(sec-butyl)-, and dicyclohexylmethoxymethylsilane in 84%, 83%, and 83% yields. Treatment of methoxydimethylchlorosilane with the Grignard reagents readily afforded isopropyl-, sec-butyl-, and cyclohexylmethoxydimethylsilane in excellent yields. Similar treatment of methoxydimethylchlorosilane with tert-butylmagnesium chloride gave tert-butylmethoxydimethylsilane in 62% yield.

- SILICIUM-VERBINDUNGEN MIT STARKEN INTRAMOLEKULAREN STERISCHEN WECHSELWIRKUNGEN X. NEUE WEGE ZU 1,3,2,4-DITHIADISILETANEN
-
2,2,4,4-Tetraorganyl-1,3,2,4-dithiadisiletanes containing bulky organyl groups are obtained by copyrolysis of the disilanes R3Si-SiR3 with sulfur or sulfur hexafluoride, or better by reaction of the disilanes R2HSi-SiHR2 (R=CH3, i-C3H7, cyclo-C6H11, t-C4H9) with sulfur.In the case of R=t-C4H9 a considerable amount of the t-butyl groups is isomerized to the less crowded isobutyl groups.Monomeric silathiones R2Si=S are not available by this route.The sulfur insertion reaction into 1,1-di-t-butyl-1-silacyclobutane yields 2,4-di-t-butyl-2,4-dipropyl-1,3,2,4-dithiadisiletane instead of the expected 1,1-di-t-butyl-1-sila-2-thiacyclopentane.The latter compound, however, results from the crown ether catalyzed cyclisation reaction of 3-bromopropyltrichlorosilane with Na2S followed by transalkylation with t-butyllithium.The iodosilanes R3SiI (R=i-C3H7, cyclo-C6H11) react with Na2S to give the corresponding hexaorganyldisilathianes in high yields.
