Organosilicon compounds have been extensively utilized both in industry and academia. Studies on the syntheses of diverse organosilanes is highly appealing. Through-space metal/hydrogen shifts allow functionalization of C?H bonds at a remote site, which are otherwise difficult to achieve. However, until now, an aryl to alkyl 1,5-palladium migration process seems to have not been presented. Reported herein is the remote olefination, arylation, and borylation of a methyl group on silicon to access diverse vinyl-, benzyl-, and borylsilanes, constituting a unique C(sp3)?H transformation based on a 1,5-palladium migration process.

Tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) reacts with (halomethyl)diphenyl(para-substituted-phenyl)silanes (13, X = Cl), 14 (X = Br), and 15 (X = I) in ether solvents to give fluorodiphenyl(parasubstituted-phenylmethyl)silanes (17a) and fluorophenyl(phenylmethyl)(para-substituted-phenyl)silanes (20a) by attack on silicon and migrations of the phenyl or the para-substituted-phenyl groups to C-1 with displacement of chloride ion. Sodium methoxide in dioxane effects rearrangement displacements of 14 (X = Br) to yield methoxydiphenyl(para-substituted-phenylmethyl)silanes (17b) and methoxyphenyl(phenylmethyl)(para-substituted-phenyl)silanes (20b). The migratory aptitudes of the varied phenyl groups in rearrangement-displacements of 13 with F- at 25°C are p-CF3-Ph, 2.72 > p-Cl-Ph, 1.67 > Ph, 1.00 > p-CH3-Ph, 0.91 > p-CH3O-Ph, 0.58 > p-(CH3)2N-Ph, 0.55. For reactions of 14 with sodium methoxide in dioxane, the migratory aptitudes at 23°C are p-CF3-Ph, 2.53 > p-Cl-Ph, 1.64 > Ph, 1.00 > p-CH3O-Ph, 0.84 > p-CH5-Ph, 0.79 > p-(CH3)2N-Ph, 0.68. The migratory aptitudes in the above rearrangement-displacements are increased by electron withdrawing substituents, and logarithms of the migratory aptitudes give satisfactory linear correlations with σ and/or σ-zero values of the phenyl substituents. Hammett correlations however of the migratory aptitudes from reactions of F- with 13 (X = Cl) at 0 and -20°C, 14 (X = Br) at 23, 0, and -20°C, and 15 (X = I) at 23°C are not linear. (+)-(Bromomethyl)methyl-1 naphthylphenylsilane (23, [α]D23 +8.29°, cyclohexane) reacts with CsF and with TBAF in THF to give benzylfluoromethyl-1-naphthylsilane (51, [α]D25 = 0.00°, cyclohexane) and fluoromethyl-(1 naphthylmethyl)phenylsilane (52, impure) in 10.4:1 ratio along with unchanged 23 ([α]D23 8.29°, cyclohexane). Sodium methoxide and (+)-23 in dioxane at 25°C and at 0°C yield (+)benzylmethoxymethyl-1-naphthylsilane (64) and (+)-methoxymethyl(1-naphthylmethyl)phenylsilane (65) in ~9:1 ratio. The conversions of (+)-23 to (+)-64 occur with 93% inversion about silicon. Reaction of (+)-23 with sodium methoxide at 25°C to give (+)-65 also occurs with inversion. Further, sodium ethoxide and sodium 2-propoxide react with (+)-23 at 20-25°C by rearrangement displacements on silicon with phenyl migrations to yield (+)-benzylethoxymethyl-1-naphthylsilane (69) and (+)-benzylmethyl-1-naphthyl-2-propoxysilane (70), respectively, each with 95% inversion about silicon. The mechanisms of rearrangement-displacements of 13-15 and (+)-23 by fluoride and by alkoxide ions are discussed.
