Silylative Decarbonylation: A New Route to Arylsilanes
Rich, Jonathan D.
, p. 5886 - 5893 (2007/10/02)
A new synthetic procedure for the preparation of aromatic chlorosilanes via the palladium-catalyzed reaction of methylchlorodisilanes and aromatic acid chloride is described.The silylative decarbonylation process is solventless, can utilize low metal catalyst loadings (500-1000 ppm Pd), is carried out under moderate conditions (145 deg C), and selectively gives aromatic chlorosilanes in good yield, generally 60-85percent.The procedure is tolerant of a variety of aromatic substituents, for example, alkyl, halo, nitro, cyano, imide, acid anhydride, etc., and the synthesis ofseveral new substituted aromatic chlorosilanes containing benzoyl chloride and phthalic anhydride moieties is described.Chloromethyldisilane starting reagents are available from the direct reaction of methyl chloride and silicon, making this methodology an attractive synthetic route to functionalized aromatic chlorosilanes.
