Go organic! N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5- dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IiPr) has been found to be an efficient and selective catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of a wide range of silanes and hydroxyl groups to form Si-O bonds under mild and solvent-free conditions (see scheme). Mechanistic studies indicated that the activation of hydroxyl groups by the NHC is the most plausible initial step for the process. Copyright
