Bench-Stable Cobalt Pre-Catalysts for Mild Hydrosilative Reduction of Tertiary Amides to Amines and Beyond

The readily synthesized and bench-stable cobalt dichloride complex (dpephos)CoCl2 is employed as a pre-catalyst for a diversity of silane additions to unsaturated organic molecules, including the normally challenging reduction of amides to amines. With regard to hydrosilative reduction of amides even more effective and activator free catalytic systems can be generated from the bench-stable, commercially available Co(acac)2 and Co(OAc)2 with dpephos and PPh3 ligands. These systems operate under mild conditions (100 °C), with many examples of room temperature transformations, presenting a first example of mild cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of amides.

Electrophilic Organobismuth Dication Catalyzes Carbonyl Hydrosilylation

Bismuth compounds are gaining importance as potential alternatives to transition-metal complexes and electron deficient lighter p-block compounds in homogeneous catalysis. Computational analysis on the two-coordinate [(Me2NC6H4)Bi]2+ possessing three electrophilic sites is experimentally evidenced by the isolation of [{Me2NC6H4}Bi{OP(NMe2)3}3][B(3,5-C6H3Cl2)4]2. These observations led us to generate dicationic organobismuth catalyst, [(Me2NC6H4)Bi(L)3]2+ (L=aldehyde/ketone), evidenced by NMR spectroscopy in solution and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. It efficiently catalyzes hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones resulting in silyl ethers as the only products in high yields. Our investigations support a carbonyl activation mechanism at the bismuth center followed by Si?H addition.

Trivalent Rare-Earth Metal Amide Complexes as Catalysts for the Hydrosilylation of Benzophenone Derivatives with HN(SiHMe2)2 by Amine-Exchange Reaction

The rare-earth metal complexes Ln(L1)[N(SiHMe2)2](thf) (Ln=La, Ce, Y; L1=N,N′′-bis(pentafluorophenyl)diethylenetriamine dianion) were synthesized by treating Ln[N(SiHMe2)2]3(thf)2 with L1H2. The lanthanum and cerium derivatives are active catalysts for the hydrosilylation of benzophenone derivatives with HN(SiHMe2)2. An amine-exchange reaction was revealed as a key step of the catalytic cycle, in which Ln?Si?H β-agostic interactions are proposed to promote insertion of the carbonyl moiety into the Si?H bond.

Seeking Heteroatom-Rich Compounds: Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies into Iron Catalyzed Dehydrocoupling of Silanes

A detailed synthetic investigation into the dehydrocoupling of silanes with amines, phosphines, and alcohols using an iron precatalyst (1) is presented. We have furnished over 30 examples of aminosilane synthesis along with kinetic studies using MeBnNH and MePhSiH2 as coupling partners. The kinetic studies suggest a reversible reaction with silane which generates aminosilane and an Fe-hydride dimer that undergoes rate-limiting protonolysis with amine with N-H bond cleavage in the transition state, consistent with a primary KIE of 2.42(3). The presence of dimers as on-cycle intermediates was analyzed in depth. Beyond this we have explored the substrate scope of phosphinosilane formation which shows a preferential heterodehydrocoupling to give the phosphinosilane with primary and secondary silanes. Silylethers can also be prepared and alcohols that contain alkene functionality do not show any tendency to reduce the double bond.

1-D manganese(ii)-terpyridine coordination polymers as precatalysts for hydrofunctionalisation of carbonyl compounds

Reductive catalysis with earth-abundant metals is currently of increasing importance and shows potential in replacing precious metal catalysis. In this work, we revealed catalytic hydroboration and hydrosilylation of ketones and aldehydes achieved by a structurally defined manganese(ii) coordination polymer (CP) as a precatalyst under mild conditions. The manganese-catalysed methodology can be applied to a range of functionalized aldehydes and ketones with turnover numbers (TON) of up to 990. Preliminary results on the regioselective catalytic hydrofunctionalization of styrenes by the Mn-CP catalyst are also presented.

Erratum: Redox-Noninnocent Ligand-Supported Vanadium Catalysts for the Chemoselective Reduction of C=X (X = O, N) Functionalities (Journal of the American Chemical Society (2019) 141:38 (15230-15239) DOI: 10.1021/jacs.9b07062)

Pages 15232, 15233, and 15236. In the original paper, the doublet wave functions for 21 and 21a/21b were incorrectly (Figure Presented). reported as spin-contaminated in sections 2.3 and 2.8 (Figure 3 and Scheme 9, respectively.) This comes from the incorrectly reported expected eigenvalue of 0.75 for the spin-squared operator ??2? for the antiferromagnetically coupled doublet |↓?L|↑↑?V state (originally given in the Supporting Information). The correct expected eigenvalue for the |↓?L|↑↑?V state should be 1.75. The wave functions for 21 and 21a/21b (eigenvalues 1.79 and 1.77/1.66, respectively) are therefore not spincontaminated. The corrected Figure 3 and Scheme 9 are presented below. A corrected Supporting Information file is also provided. The corrections do not affect any of the conclusions of the Article, but slightly decrease the gap between the quartet and doublet spin surfaces. Scheme 3 has been also corrected to reflect the fact that (CH3)3SiCH2 ? radicals can only react based on spin conservation.

Hydridosilylamido complexes of Ta and Mo isolobal with Berry's zirconocenes: Syntheses, β-Si-H agostic interactions, catalytic hydrosilylation, and insight into mechanism

The syntheses of novel Group 5 and Group 6 hydrosilylamido complexes of the type R(ArN)M{N(tBu)SiMe2-H}X (M = Ta, R = Cp; M = Mo, R = ArN; X = Cl, H, OBn, Me) are described. The various substituents in the X position seem to play the

Cyclopentadienyl-NHC iron complexes for solvent-free catalytic hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones

Seven cyclopentadienyl-NHC piano-stool iron complexes were prepared and studied in the catalytic hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under visible light irradiation. A significant acceleration of the rate was observed when the reactions were carried out under solvent-free conditions. Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses were performed for complexes 5 and 7. Cp-NHC piano-stool iron complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under solvent-free conditions and by activation by light irradiation. An acceleration of the rate of the reaction was observed under neat conditions relative to those for the reactions in toluene or THF.
