Hydrosilylation of olefins with monosilane catalyzed by transition metal complexes

Hydrosilylation of 1-hexene and 1,5-hexadiene with SiH4 in the presence of transition metal or its compound as catalyst produced alkylated silanes.

Hydrosilylation of olefins with monosilane in the presence of lithium aluminum hydride

Hydrosilylation reactions of 1-hexene and ethylene with SiH4 occurs in the presence of LiAlH4 as a catalyst. Hexylsilane and dihexylsilane were produced from 1-hexene and SiH4. Ethylsilane was produced from ethylene and SiH4. The reaction mechanism involving SiH4 and the alkyl anion, which is formed by the interaction between LiAlH4 and the olefin, has been proposed.

Silylation reactions of olefins with monosilane and disilane in the presence of a transition metal complex, metal hydride, and radical initiator

The catalytic reactions between monosilane or disilane and 1-hexene or 1,5-hexadiene were studied. The reactions with monosilane gave the silylated compounds in the presence of a platinum complex, LiAlH4 and a radical initiator. In the reactions with disilane, the same silylated compounds were produced in the presence of a platinum complex as in the reaction with monosilane, and disilanylated compounds were obtained using LiAlH4 and a radical initiator. The reaction mechanisms are discussed.

Alkene hydrosilation by a cationic hydrogen-substituted iridium silylene complex

A cationic hydrogen-substituted iridium silylene complex [(PNP)(H)Ir=Si(Mes)H][B(C6F5)4] (2) was synthesized via hydride abstraction from the corresponding neutral iridium silyl hydride complex. DFT calculations for 2 indicate that the cationic charge is localized at the silicon center and depict a LUMO with predominant silicon p-orbital character. Notably, complex 2 reacts rapidly with unhindered alkenes at ambient temperatures to afford disubstituted silylene complexes via Si-C bond formation. Complex 2 is also the catalyst for alkene hydrosilation of primary silanes with a high degree of anti-Markovnikov selectivity. Copyright
