A feasible new preparation was reported for an octacarboxylphenyl functionalized spherosilicate, octakis[(pcarboxyphenyl) dimethylsilyl]silicate, which was a versatile monomer leading to other functional spherosilicate derivatives. The synthesis was start

While 1,2-addition represents the most common mode of alkyne hydroboration, herein we describe a new 1,1-hydroboration mode. It is the first demonstration of gem-(H,B) addition to an alkyne triple bond. With the superior [CpRu(MeCN)3]PF6 catalyst, a range of silyl alkynes reacted efficiently with HBpin under mild conditions to form various synthetically useful silyl vinyl boronates with complete stereoselectivity and broad functional group compatibility. An extension to germanyl alkynes and the hydrosilylation of alkynyl boronates toward the same type of products were also achieved. Mechanistically, this process features a new pathway featuring gem-(H,B) addition to form the key α-boryl-α-silyl Ru-carbene intermediate followed by silyl migration. It is believed that the orbital interaction between boron and Cβ in the coplanar relationship between the boron atom and the ruthenacyclopropene ring preceding boron migration is responsible for the new reactivity. Control experiments and DFT (including molecular dynamics) calculations provided important insights into the mechanism, which excluded the involvement of a metal vinylidene intermediate. This study represents a new step forward not only for alkyne hydroboration but also for other geminal additions of alkynes.

Highly enantioselective bisguanidinium-catalyzed tandem rearrangements of acylsilanes are reported. The acylsilanes were activated via an addition of fluoride on the silicon to form a penta-coordinate anionic silicate intermediate. The silicate then underwent alkyl or aryl group migration from the silicon atom to the neighboring carbonyl carbon atom (1,2-anionotropic rearrangement), followed by [1,2]-Brook rearrangement to provide the secondary alcohols in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). The isolation of an α-silylcarbinol intermediate as well as DFT calculations revealed that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement occurred via a bisguanidinium silicate ion pair, which is the stereodetermining step. The chiral center formed is then retained without inversion through the subsequent [1,2]-Brook rearrangement. Crotyl acylsilanes were smoothly transformed into homoallylic linear crotyl alcohols with retention of E/Z geometry, and no branched alcohols were detected. This clearly suggested that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement occurred through a three-membered instead of a five-membered transition state.
