Lewis Base Catalyzed Selective Chlorination of Monosilanes

A preparatively facile, highly selective synthesis of bifunctional monosilanes R2SiHCl, RSiHCl2 and RSiH2Cl is reported. By chlorination of R2SiH2 and RSiH3 with concentrated HCl/ether solutions, the stepwise introduction of Si?Cl bonds is readily controlled by temperature and reaction time for a broad range of substrates. In a combined experimental and computational study, we establish a new mode of Si?H bond activation assisted by Lewis bases such as ethers, amines, phosphines, and chloride ions. Elucidation of the underlying reaction mechanisms shows that alcohol assistance through hydrogen-bond networks is equally efficient and selective. Remarkably, formation of alkoxysilanes or siloxanes is not observed under moderate reaction conditions.

Dehydrohalogenative coupling reaction of organic halides with silanes

The present invention relates to methods for making the compounds of formula I which is a dehydrohalogenative coupling of hydrochlorosilanes of formula II with organic halides of formula III in the presence of a Lewis base catalyst. R3CH2SiR1Cl2??(I) HSiR1Cl2??(II) R2CH2X??(III) In formulas I and II, R1represents a hydrogen, chloro, or methyl; in formula III, X represents a chloro or bromo; in formula III, R2can be selected from the group consisting of a C1-17alkyl, a C1-10fluorinated alkyl with partial or full fluorination, a C1-5alkenyl groups, a silyl group containing alkyls, (CH2)nSiMe3-mClmwherein n is 0 to 2 and m is 0 to 3, aromatic groups, Ar(R′)1wherein Ar is C6-14aromatic hydrocarbon, R′ is a C1-4alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, or vinyl, and q is 0 to 5, a haloalkyl group, (CH2)pX wherein p is 1 to 9 and X is a chloro or bromo; or an aromatic hydrocarbon, Ar CH2X wherein Ar is C6-14aromatic hydrocarbon and X is a chloro or bromo. in formula I, R3is the same as R2in formula III and further, R3can also be (CH2)pSiR1Cl2or ArCH2SiR1Cl2when R2in formula III is (CH2)pX or ArCH2X, because of the coupling reaction of X with the compound of formula II.

Macrocyclic polyether compounds

Macrocyclic polyether "crown" compounds of the formula EQU1 WHEREIN T is a C2 -C3 alkylene, A is EQU2 R being H or C1 -C18 alkyl, R2 and R3 being independently C1 -C18 alkyl, C2 -C4 alkenyl, or C6 -C14 aryl; Q and Z are independently 1,2-arylene (or saturated derivatives thereof) or substituted 1,2-arylene (or saturated derivatives thereof); a is 0, 1, 2, or 3; b is an integer from 3 to 20; y is 1 or zero; x1, x2, x3, and x4 are integers independently selected to give a 15-60 atom ring. Such crown compounds are generally useful in the formation of complexes with ionic metal compounds, thus making it possible to use certain chemical reagents in media wherein they are normally insoluble.
