Selective C-O Bond Reduction and Borylation of Aryl Ethers Catalyzed by a Rhodium-Aluminum Heterobimetallic Complex

We report the catalytic reduction of a C-O bond and the borylation by a rhodium complex bearing an X-Type PAlP pincer ligand. We have revealed the reaction mechanism based on the characterization of the reaction intermediate and deuterium-labeling experiments. Notably, this novel catalytic system shows steric-hindrance-dependent chemoselectivity that is distinct from conventional Ni-based catalysts and suggests a new strategy for selective C-O bond activation by heterobimetallic catalysis.

DTBB-catalysed lithiation of chlorinated benzylic chlorides, alcohols, thiols or amines

The reaction of chlorinated benzyl chlorides (I) with an excess of lithium powder and a catalytic amount of DTBB (4 mol %) in the presence of different electrophiles [Pr(i)CHO, Bu(t)CHO, Et2CO, (CH2)5CO, PhCOMe, Me3/

Electrochemical Synthesis of (α-Halobenzyl)silanes and Benzyl Disilanes

Electrochemical reduction of a series of substituted benzal chlorides (4) in dimethylformamide containing excess chlorotrimetylsilane affords (α-chlorobenzyl)trimetylsilanes (5) or benzal (geminal) disilanes (6), depending upon experimental conditions.Benzal bromide (13) is reducted to (α-bromobenzyl)trimetylsilane (14) cleanly and in high yield without subsequent conversion to the geminal disilane 6a, apparently because of electrode passivation by bromide ion.The reaction are conveniently carried out at constant current in an undivided cell containing a stainless steel cathode and sacrificial magnesium anode.
