Novel catalytically active cationic Si(II) and Ge(II) compounds were synthesized and isolated in pure form. The Ge(II)+-based compounds proved to be stable against air and moisture and therefore can be handled very easily. All compounds efficiently catalyze the oxidative coupling of hydrosil(ox)anes with aldehydes and ketones as oxidation reagents and simultaneously the reductive ether coupling at very low amounts of 0.01 mol %. Because the catalysts also catalyze the reversible cyclotrimerization of aldehydes, paraldehyde can be used as a convenient source for acetaldehyde in siloxane coupling. It is shown that the reaction is especially suitable to make siloxane copolymers. Moreover, a new fluorine-free weakly coordinating boronate anion, B(SiCl3)4-, was successfully combined with the Si(II) and Ge(II) cations to give the stable catalytically active ion pairs Cp*Si:+B(SiCl3)4-, Cp*Ge:+B(SiCl3)4-, and [Cp(SiMe3)3Ge:+]B(SiCl3)4-.

Abstract A detailed study on the synthesis and reactions of silylmethylcyclopropanes is reported. In their simplest form, these donor-only cyclopropanes undergo Lewis acid promoted reaction to give either cis- or trans-tetrahydrofurans, with the selectivity being reaction condition-dependant. The adducts themselves are demonstrated to be an important scaffold for structural diversification. The combination of a silyl-donor group in a donor-acceptor cyclopropane with novel acceptor groups is also discussed.

The hydrogenolysis of benzyloxysilanes was smoothly catalyzed by Pd/C in THF to give corresponding silanols under nonhydrolytic conditions. The reaction proved to be applicable to various benzyloxysilanes giving silanemonools, diol, and triol.
