Desulfurizative silation, germation, and stannation of thioacetals and their analogues utilizing titanocene(II)

Desulfurization of thioacetals with the low valent titanium species CP2Ti[P(OEt)3]2 in the presence of trialkylsilanes afforded the corresponding tetraalkylsilanes. Allylsilanes were obtained regioselectively using β,γ-uns

Ga+-catalyzed hydrosilylation? about the surprising system Ga+/HSiR3/olefin, proof of oxidation with subvalent Ga+and silylium catalysis with perfluoroalkoxyaluminate anions

Already 1 mol% of subvalent [Ga(PhF)2]+[pf]- ([pf]- = [Al(ORF)4]-, RF = C(CF3)3) initiates the hydrosilylation of olefinic double bonds under mild conditions. Reactions with HSiMe3 and HSiEt3 as substrates efficiently yield anti-Markovnikov and anti-addit

Nickel(ii)-catalyzed reductive silylation of alkenyl methyl ethers for the synthesis of alkyl silanes

A new one pot protocol has been developed for the reductive silylation of alkenyl methyl ethers using Et3Si-BPin and HSiEt3 with nickel(ii) catalyst. Styrene type methyl ethers, multi-substituted vinyl methyl ethers, heterocycles and unconjugated vinyl ethers are all tolerated to form alkyl silanes. Mechanistic study reveals that it is a cascade of a C-O bond silylation and vinyl double bond hydrogenation process. Internal nucleophilic substitution or oxidative addition pathways were both acceptable for C-O bond cleavage. The acquired intermediate alkenyl silanes then proceeded through an unconventional reduction process thus providing alkyl silanes.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Hydrosilylation of Alkynes and Alkenes under Continuous Flow

Herein, the photocatalytic hydrosilylation of alkynes and alkenes under continuous flow conditions is described. By using 0.2 mol % of the developed [Cu(dmp)(XantphosTEPD)]PF6 under blue LEDs irradiation, a large panel of alkenes and alkynes was hydrosilylated in good to excellent yields with a large functional group tolerance. The mechanism of the reaction was studied, and a plausible scenario was suggested.

14-Electron Rh and Ir silylphosphine complexes and their catalytic activity in alkene functionalization with hydrosilanes

Herein we report an experimental and computational study of a family of four coordinated 14-electron complexes of Rh(iii) devoid of agostic interactions. The complexes [X-Rh(κ3(P,Si,Si)PhP(o-C6H4CH2SiiPr2)2], where X = Cl (Rh-1), Br (Rh-2), I (Rh-3), OTf (Rh-4), Cl·GaCl3(Rh-5); derive from a bis(silyl)-o-tolylphosphine with isopropyl substituents on the Si atoms. All five complexes display a sawhorse geometry around Rh and exhibit similar spectroscopic and structural properties. The catalytic activity of these complexes and [Cl-Ir(κ3(P,Si,Si)PhP(o-C6H4CH2SiiPr2)2],Ir-1, in styrene and aliphatic alkene functionalizations with hydrosilanes is disclosed. We show thatRh-1catalyzes effectively the dehydrogenative silylation of styrene with Et3SiH in toluene while it leads to hydrosilylation products in acetonitrile.Rh-1is an excellent catalyst in the sequential isomerization/hydrosilylation of terminal and remote aliphatic alkenes with Et3SiH including hexene isomers, leading efficiently and selectively to the terminal anti-Markonikov hydrosilylation product in all cases. With aliphatic alkenes, no hydrogenation products are observed. Conversely, catalysis of the same hexene isomers byIr-1renders allyl silanes, the tandem isomerization/dehydrogenative silylation products. A mechanistic proposal is made to explain the catalysis with these M(iii) complexes.

Manganese catalyzed dehydrogenative silylation of alkenes: Direct access to allylsilanes

Dehydrogenative silylation of alkenes with silanes to produce allylsilanes is achieved through manganese catalysis with a wide scope of substrate tolerance. This transformation involves silane radicals initiated by manganese complex without additional oxidant additives. It offers a general, convenient and practical protocol with excellent functional group compatibility and gram-scale capacity for the modular synthesis of allylsilanes.

One-Pot Cooperation of Single-Atom Rh and Ru Solid Catalysts for a Selective Tandem Olefin Isomerization-Hydrosilylation Process

Realizing the full potential of oxide-supported single-atom metal catalysts (SACs) is key to successfully bridge the gap between the fields of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Here we show that the one-pot combination of Ru1/CeO2 and Rh1/CeO2 SACs enables a highly selective olefin isomerization-hydrosilylation tandem process, hitherto restricted to molecular catalysts in solution. Individually, monoatomic Ru and Rh sites show a remarkable reaction specificity for olefin double-bond migration and anti-Markovnikov α-olefin hydrosilylation, respectively. First-principles DFT calculations ascribe such selectivity to differences in the binding strength of the olefin substrate to the monoatomic metal centers. The single-pot cooperation of the two SACs allows the production of terminal organosilane compounds with high regio-selectivity (>95 %) even from industrially-relevant complex mixtures of terminal and internal olefins, alongside a straightforward catalyst recycling and reuse. These results demonstrate the significance of oxide-supported single-atom metal catalysts in tandem catalytic reactions, which are central for the intensification of chemical processes.

Silylium-Ion-Promoted Ring-Opening Hydrosilylation and Disilylation of Unactivated Cyclopropanes

A silylium-ion-promoted ring-opening hydrosilylation of unactivated cyclopropanes is reported. The reaction is facilitated by the γ-silicon effect, and the regioselectivity is influenced by various stabilizing effects on the carbenium-ion intermediates, including the β-silicon effect. The experimental observations are in accord with the computed reaction mechanism. The work also showcases the ability of silylium ions to isomerize cyclopropyl to allyl groups, and the resulting α-olefins engage in a silylium-ion-mediated disilylation with hexamethyldisilane.

Palladium(0)-catalyzed C(sp3)-Si bond formation: Via formal carbene insertion into a Si-H bond

Pd(0)-Catalyzed formal carbene insertion into Si-H bonds has been achieved as an efficient method for C(sp3)-Si bond formation. The reaction, which uses readily available N-tosylhydrazones as the diazo precursors, is highly efficient and shows a wide substrate scope. Rh(ii) and Cu(i) salts, which are the widely used catalysts for carbene insertion reactions, have been proved to be ineffective for the current reaction. A Pd(ii) carbene migratory insertion/reductive elimination mechanism is proposed.

Catalytic study of heterobimetallic rhodium complexes derived from partially alkylated s-indacene in dehydrogenative silylation of olefins

This work describes the catalytic study of heterobimetallic rhodium compounds derived from partially alkylated s-indacene in dehydrogenative silylation of olefins in order to elucidate as much as possible the effects of: solvent, temperature, chemical substrates, olefin effect, silane effect, and secondary metallic fragment. The rhodium complexes, anti-[Cp*Fe-s- Ic′-Rh(COD)] 1, anti-[Cp*Ru-s-Ic′-Rh(COD)] 2, and syn-[Cp*Ru-s-Ic′-Rh(COD)] 2′ (with s-Ic′: 2,6-diethyl-4,8-dimethyl-s-indaceneiide) were previously synthesized and characterized, and were compared with the catalytic activity of the complexes previously reported; monometallic [(COD)Rh-s-Ic′H] 3, and homobimetallic anti-[{(COD)Rh}2-s-Ic′] 4, and syn-[{(COD)Rh} 2-s-Ic′] 4′. The heterobimetallic complexes show a high activity and selectivity for the dehydrogenative silylation of styrene and these complexes show also the presence of a cooperative effect between both metallic centers, which is evidenced when compared with monometallic complex.
