Cyclic metal(oid) clusters control platinum-catalysed hydrosilylation reactions: From soluble to zeolite and MOF catalysts

The Pt-catalysed addition of silanes to functional groups such as alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls and alcohols, i.e. the hydrosilylation reaction, is a fundamental transformation in industrial and academic chemistry, often claimed as the most important application of Pt catalysts in solution. However, the exact nature of the Pt active species and its mechanism of action is not well understood yet, particularly regarding regioselectivity. Here, experimental and computational studies together with an ad hoc graphical method show that the hydroaddition of alkynes proceeds through Pt-Si-H clusters of 3-5 atoms (metal(oid) association) in parts per million amounts (ppm), which decrease the energy of the transition state and direct the regioselectivity of the reaction. Based on these findings, new extremely-active (ppm) microporous solid catalysts for the hydrosilylation of alkynes, alkenes and alcohols have been developed, paving the way for more environmentally-benign industrial applications.

A mononuclear iron bivalent complex having iron-silicon bonds, which is represented by formula (1), can exhibit an excellent catalytic activity in at least one reaction selected from three reactions, i.e., a hydrosilylation reaction, a hydrogenation reaction and a reaction for reducing a carbonyl compound. (In the formula, R1 to R6 independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may be substituted by X, or the like; X represents a halogen atom, or the like; L1 represents at least one two-electron ligand selected from an isonitrile ligand, an amine ligand, an imine ligand, a nitrogenated heterocyclic ring, a phosphine ligand, a phosphite ligand and a sulfide ligand, wherein, when multiple L1's are present, two L1's may be bonded to each other; L2 represents a two-electron ligand that is different from a CO ligand or the above-mentioned L1, wherein, when multiple L2's are present, two L2's may be bonded to each other; and m1 represents an integer of 1 to 4 and m2 represents an integer of 0 to 3, wherein the sum total of m1 and m2 (i.e., m1+m2) satisfies 3 or 4.)

A neutral or cationic mononuclear ruthenium divalent complex represented by formula (1) can actualize exceptional catalytic activity in at least one reaction among a hydrosilylation reaction, hydrogenation reaction, and carbonyl compound reduction reaction. (In the formula, R1-R6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, aryl group, aralkyl group, organooxy group, monoorganoamino group, diorganoamino group, monoorganophosphino group, diorganophosphino group, monoorganosilyl group, diorganosilyl group, triorganosilyl group, or organothio group optionally substituted by X; at least one pair comprising any of R1-R3 and any of R4-R6 together represents a crosslinkable substituent; X represents a halogen atom, organooxy group, monoorganoamino group, diorganoamino group, or organothio group; L each independently represent a two-electron ligand other than CO and thiourea ligands; two L may bond to each other; and m represents an integer of 3 or 4.)

Cobalt(0) and Iron(0) Isocyanides as Catalysts for Alkene Hydrosilylation with Hydrosiloxanes

Iron and cobalt isocyanides, Fe(CNR)5 (1) and Co2(CNR)8 (2), where R = t-butyl (tBu), adamantyl (Ad), and mesityl (Mes), were prepared by reduction of FeBr2 or CoI2 in the presence of CNR by C8K or silica-Na. These complexes were subjected to catalytic hydrosilylation of alkenes with hydrosiloxanes, and the results are compared with those obtained by previously reported Fe(OPiv)2/CNAd or Co(OPiv)2/CNAd catalyst systems. Hydrosilylation of allylic ethers with 1,1,1,3,3-pentamethyldisiloxane (PMDS) catalyzed by 1 and the reaction of several alkenes with PMDS or 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane (MD′M) catalyzed by 2 exhibited greater catalytic activity than that observed for the Fe(OPiv)2 or Co(OPiv)2/CNR catalyst system. Complexes 1 and 2 were effective for catalytic chemical modification of silicone fluids containing Si-H groups and for two-component silicone curing. In all cases, selectivity of the reaction in terms of formation of the desired product by hydrosilylation and of byproducts due to dehydrogenative silylation did not differ between the metal isocyanide complexes and the corresponding M(OPiv)2/CNR catalyst system. Catalytically active species generated from 1, 2, and the M(OPiv)2/CNR catalyst system were also investigated.

HYDROSILYLATION REACTION CATALYST

A hydrosilylation reaction catalyst prepared from: a catalyst precursor comprising a transition metal compound, excluding platinum, belonging to group 8-10 of the periodic table, e.g., iron acetate, cobalt acetate, nickel acetate, etc.; and a ligand comprising an isocyanide compound such as t-butyl isocyanide. The hydrosilylation reaction catalyst has excellent handling and storage properties. As a result of using this catalyst, a hydrosilylation reaction can be promoted under gentle conditions.

HYDROSILYLATION IRON CATALYST

A hydrosilylation iron catalyst prepared from a two-electron ligand (L) and a mononuclear, binuclear, or trinuclear complex of iron indicated by formula (1), Fe having bonds with carbon atoms included in X and the total number of Fe-carbon bonds being 2-10. As a result of using iron, the hydrosilylation iron catalyst is advantageous from a cost perspective as well as being easily synthesized. Hydrosilylation reactions can be promoted under mild conditions by using this catalyst.

Non-Precious-Metal Catalytic Systems Involving Iron or Cobalt Carboxylates and Alkyl Isocyanides for Hydrosilylation of Alkenes with Hydrosiloxanes

A mixture of an iron or a cobalt carboxylate and an isocyanide ligand catalyzed the hydrosilylation of alkenes with hydrosiloxanes with high efficiency (TON >103) and high selectivity. The Fe catalyst showed excellent activity for hydrosilylation of styrene derivatives, whereas the Co catalyst was widely effective in reaction of alkenes. Both of them catalyzed the reaction with allylic ethers. Chemical modification and cross-linking of silicones were achieved by choosing the right catalyst and reaction conditions.

Combinatorial Approach to the Catalytic Hydrosilylation of Styrene Derivatives: Catalyst Systems Composed of Organoiron(0) or (II) Precursors and Isocyanides

(COT)2Fe and the open ferrocenes (MPDE)2Fe (MPDE = η5-3-methylpentadienyl) and (DMPDE)2Fe (DMPDE = η5-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl) were found to function as catalyst precursors for the hydrosilylation of alkenes in the presence of auxiliary ligands. Screening trials determined that the optimal catalyst system was composed of (COT)2Fe and adamantyl isocyanide, allowing the selective hydrosilylation of styrene derivatives with trisubstituted hydrosiloxanes and a polydimethylsiloxane bearing Me2SiH moieties as the end groups. Under the appropriate conditions, the dehydrogenative silylation side reaction was completely suppressed, and the reaction TON exceeded 5000. (Chemical Equation Presented).
