Solid supported palladium(0) nanoparticles: An efficient heterogeneous catalyst for regioselective hydrosilylation of alkynes and suzuki coupling of β-arylvinyl iodides

The solid supported palladium(0) nanoparticles (NPs) were found as an active heterogeneous catalyst for regioselective hydrosilylation of alkynes with organosilanes in the presence of NaI as additive. Aliphatic as well as aromatic terminal/substituted alkynes with both electron releasing and withdrawing functionalities similarly participated in the hydrosilylation to produce regioselective β-isomers of vinylsilanes under mild reaction conditions. Reducible functional groups such as nitrile, ester, halide, alkene and alkyne were also found to be tolerated under this condition. Furthermore, the triethylsilylstyrene was applied for consecutive iododesilylation followed by Suzuki coupling reaction to produce stilbenes. The air/moisture stable SS-Pd catalyst was recycled for hydrosilylation reaction up to ten runs without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Hydrosilylation of Alkynes and Alkenes under Continuous Flow

Herein, the photocatalytic hydrosilylation of alkynes and alkenes under continuous flow conditions is described. By using 0.2 mol % of the developed [Cu(dmp)(XantphosTEPD)]PF6 under blue LEDs irradiation, a large panel of alkenes and alkynes was hydrosilylated in good to excellent yields with a large functional group tolerance. The mechanism of the reaction was studied, and a plausible scenario was suggested.

Iridium(i) complexes bearing hemilabile coumarin-functionalised N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with application as alkyne hydrosilylation catalysts

A set of iridium(i) complexes of formula IrCl(κC,η2-IRCouR′)(cod) or IrCl(κC, η2-BzIRCouR′)(cod) (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; Cou = coumarin; I = imidazolin-2-carbene; BzI = benzimidazolin-2-carbene) have beeen prepared from the corresponding azolium salt and [Ir(μ-OMe)(cod)]2 in THF at room temperature. The crystalline structures of 4b and 5b show a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration in the solid state with a coordinated coumarin moiety. In contrast, an equilibrium between this pentacoordinated structure and the related square planar isomer is observed in solution as a consequence of the hemilability of the pyrone ring. Characterization of both species by NMR was achieved at the low and high temperature limits, respectively. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters of the equilibrium, ΔHR and ΔSR, were obtained by VT 1H NMR spectroscopy and fall in the range 22-33 kJ mol-1 and 72-113 J mol-1 K-1, respectively. Carbonylation of IrCl(κC,η2-BzITolCou7,8-Me2)(cod) resulted in the formation of a bis-CO derivative showing no hemilabile behaviour. The newly synthesised complexes efficiently catalyze the hydrosilylation of alkynes at room temperature with a preference for the β-(Z) vinylsilane isomer.

Ru-Catalyzed Migratory Geminal Semihydrogenation of Internal Alkynes to Terminal Olefins

Semihydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes represents a fundamentally useful transformation. In addition to the well-known cis- and trans-semihydrogenation, herein a geminal semihydrogenation of internal alkynes featuring 1,2-migration is described, which pr

In Situ Generation of Silylzinc by Si?B Bond Activation Enabling Silylzincation and Silaboration of Terminal Alkynes

A new protocol has been designed for the in situ generation of unstable Si?Zn species through the reaction of dialkylzinc, phosphine, and silylborane (Si?B). Successive reactions with various terminal alkynes using this protocol enabled highly controllable regio-/stereo-/chemoselective silylzincation and silaboration on demand without the need for a transition-metal catalyst.

An alternative mechanistic paradigm for the β-Z hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes: The role of acetone as a silane shuttle

The β-Z selectivity in the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes has been hitherto explained by introduction of isomerisation steps in classical mechanisms. DFT calculations and experimental observations on the system [M(I)2{κ-C,C,O,O-(bis-NHC)}]BF4 (M=Ir (3 a), Rh (3 b); bis-NHC=methylenebis(N-2-methoxyethyl)imidazole-2-ylidene) support a new mechanism, alternative to classical postulations, based on an outer-sphere model. Heterolytic splitting of the silane molecule by the metal centre and acetone (solvent) affords a metal hydride and the oxocarbenium ion [R 3Si - O(CH3)2]+, which reacts with the corresponding alkyne in solution to give the silylation product [R 3Si - CHi￡C - R]+. Thus, acetone acts as a silane shuttle by transferring the silyl moiety from the silane to the alkyne. Finally, nucleophilic attack of the hydrido ligand over [R3Si - CHi￡C - R]+ affords selectively the β-(Z)- vinylsilane. The β-Z selectivity is explained on the grounds of the steric interaction between the silyl moiety and the ligand system resulting from the geometry of the approach that leads to β-(E)-vinylsilanes. Silanes catch the shuttle: An outer-sphere mechanism that explains the β-Z hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes based on the role of acetone as a silane shuttle is disclosed. Heterolytic splitting of the silane molecule by the metal centre and acetone affords a metal hydride and the oxocarbenium ion [R 3Si - O(CH3)2]+, which reacts with the alkyne in solution to give the silylation product [R3Si - CHi￡C - R]+ (see figure).

A synthon for a 14-electron Ir(iii) species: Catalyst for highly selective β-(Z) hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes

A synthon for a 14-electron Ir(iii) species is described. The geometrical control exerted by the ligand system over the Ir-alkenyl intermediate in hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes precludes formation of the more thermodynamically stable β-(E)-vinylsila
