Catalysts for hydrogenation and hydrosilylation, methods of making and using the same

A compound is provided including an organometallic complex represented by the formula I: [CpM(CO)2(NHC)Lk]+A???I wherein M is an atom of molybdenum or tangsten, Cp is substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl radical represented by the formula [C5Q1Q2Q3Q4Q5], wherein Q1to Q5are independently selected from the group consisting of H radical, C1-20hydrocarbyl radical, substituted hydrocarbyl radical, halogen radical, halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl radical, —OR, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —SiR′3and —NR′R″, wherein R′ and R″ are independently selected from the group consisting of H radical, C1-20hydrocarbyl radical, halogen radical, and halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl radical, wherein said Q1to Q5radicals are optionally linked to each other to form a stable bridging group, NHC is any N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, L is either any neutral electron donor ligand, wherein k is a number from 0 to 1 or L is an anionic ligand wherein k is 2, and A?is an anion. Processes using the organometallic complex as catalyst for hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones are provided. Processes using the organometallic complex as catalyst for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes, ketones and esters are also provided.

Alcoholysis Equilibria of Triethylalkoxysilanes Catalyzed by Iodine or Iodine Monobromide

The equilibrium constants K of alcoholysis of triethylalkoxysilanes were determined at 20 degC and 40 degC.Iodine monobromide was used to promote the reactions associated with the tertiary alkoxyl groups, while the other reactions proceeded in the presence of iodine.The K values of the reaction systems with ethoxyl or propoxyl-primary, secondary, and tertiary alkoxyl pairs were 1 or above, about 0.5, and about 0.05, respectively.These values reflect the extent of the binding abilities of the alkoxyl groups to silicon, which is in the expected order of primary>secondary>tertiary alkoxyl groups.A mechanism is postulated for the reaction which involves participation by the iodine or iodine monobromide.
