Efficient Pd(O)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes with triorganosilanes

An electron-rich Pd(0) complex, a Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3- tricyclohexylphosphine combination catalyzes highly efficient hydrosilylation of alkynes at room temperature with Ph3SiH or Ph2MeSiH without solvents

Alkyne hydrosilylation catalyzed by nickel complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes

The addition of triethylsilane, triphenylsilane, and triethoxysilane to a variety of alkynes is catalyzed by complexes derived from Ni(COD)2 and N-heterocyclic carbenes. A description of the reaction scope and potential mechanistic implications

Markovnikov Hydrosilylation of Alkynes with Tertiary Silanes Catalyzed by Dinuclear Cobalt Carbonyl Complexes with NHC Ligation

Metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes is an ideal atom-economic method to prepare vinylsilanes that are useful reagents in the organic synthesis and silicone industry. Although great success has been made in the preparation of β-vinylsilanes by metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions of alkynes, reported metal-catalyzed reactions for the synthesis of α-vinylsilanes suffer from narrow substrate scope and/or poor selectivity. Herein, we present selective Markovnikov hydrosilylation reactions of terminal alkynes with tertiary silanes using a dicobalt carbonyl N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex [(IPr)2Co2(CO)6] (IPr = 1,3-di(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) as catalyst. This cobalt catalyst effects the hydrosilylation of both alkyl- and aryl-substituted terminal alkynes with a variety of tertiary silanes with good functional group compatibility, furnishing α-vinylsilanes with high yields and high α/β selectivity. Mechanistic study revealed that the stoichiometric reactions of [(IPr)2Co2(CO)6] with PhCCH and HSiEt3 can furnish the dinuclear cobalt alkyne and mononuclear cobalt silyl complexes [(IPr)(CO)2Co(μ-ν2:ν2-HCCPh)Co(CO)3], [(IPr)(CO)2Co(μ- ν2:ν2-HCCPh)Co(CO)2(IPr)], and [(IPr)Co(CO)3(SiEt3)], respectively. Both dicobalt bridging alkyne complexes can react with HSiEt3 to yield α-triethylsilyl styrene and effect the catalytic Markovnikov hydrosilylation reaction. However, the mono(NHC) dicobalt complex [(IPr)(CO)2Co(μ- ν2:ν2-HCCPh)Co(CO)3] exhibits higher catalytic activity over the di(NHC)-dicobalt complexes. The cobalt silyl complex [(IPr)Co(CO)3(SiEt3)] is ineffective in catalyzing the hydrosilylation reaction. Deuterium labeling experiments with PhCCD and DSiEt3 indicates the syn-addition nature of the hydrosilylation reaction. The absence of deuterium scrambling in the hydrosilylation products formed from the catalytic reaction of PhCCH with a mixture of DSiEt3 and HSi(OEt)3 hints that mononuclear cobalt species are less likely the in-cycle species. These observations, in addition to the evident of nonsymmetric Co2C2-butterfly core in the structure of [(IPr)(CO)2Co(μ- ν2:ν2-HCCPh)Co(CO)3], point out that mono(IPr)-dicobalt species are the genuine catalysts for the cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction and that the high α selectivity of the catalytic system originates from the joint play of the dicobalt carbonyl species to coordinate alkynes in the Co(μ- ν2:ν2-HCCR′)Co mode and the steric demanding nature of IPr ligand.

Hydrosilylation of alkynes catalysed by platinum on titania

The heterogeneous hydrosilylation of alkynes catalysed by platinum on titania is reported. A variety of hydrosilanes react with both terminal and internal alkynes to furnish the corresponding vinyl silanes in high yields and short reaction times as well as in a regio- and stereoselective manner. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused in several consecutive cycles.

Organosilicon compounds with functional groups proximate to silicon. XVII. Synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the lithiation of α,β-epoxyalkylsilanes and related α-heterosubstituted epoxides

A series of α-heterosubstituted epoxides, , has been found to undergo lithiation in the temperature range of -75 to -115 deg C at the C-H bond of the epoxide.The substituent Z could be Me3Si, Ph3Si, n-Bu3Sn, Ph3Sn, PhSO2, (OEt)2PO and Ph; the groups R and R' were H, Ph and n-C6H13; and the lithiating reagents were n-butyllithium, t-butyllithium and lithium diisopropylamide in donor media of THF or TMEDA.The lithiation occurs with retention of configuration and the resulting lithio-epoxide is unstable above 0 deg C, decomposing in a carbenoid manner.The lithiation is facile except for compounds where Z and R (an alkyl or aryl) are cis-oriented; where Z = R3Sn, lithiation occurs by tin-lithium, rather than hydrogen-lithium, exchange.The lithio-epoxides thereby generated can be quenched with various reagents to yield epoxides where the epoxide H has been replaced by D, Me3Sn, R, RCO and COOH.The utility of this procedure in organic synthesis is emphasized.Finally, the possible explanations for the acidity of such α-heterosubstituted epoxides and for the relative stability of the derived lithio-epoxides are considered and assessed.
