Herein a metal-free fluoroalkylselenolation of alkylsilanes as well as potassium alkyltrifluoroborates under visible light photocatalysis is disclosed. The developed methodologies are performed under mild conditions, room temperature in the presence of an organic photocatalyst and blue LED irradiation. Mechanistic investigations including luminescence and EPR spectroscopy allow us to shed light on both mechanisms.

Highly regioselective benzylic metalations in hydrocarbon solvent have been achieved at rt and 0 °C using a mixed-metal Li/K-TMP amide comprised of KOtBu, BuLi, and 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine (TMP(H)). Mixing of KOtBu, BuLi, and TMP(H) in heptane gave a solution of the base mixture which when used in deuterium labeling experiments confirmed the requirement of the three reagent components for both reactivity and selectivity. The reaction protocol is operationally straightforward and found to be applicable to a broad range of substrates. Upon generation of the metalated products, they are reacted in heptane at ambient temperature in a variety of synthetically useful ways. Illustrated examples include generation of the benzyltrimethylsilanes and α,α-bis(trimethylsilyl)toluenes reagents, which are bench-stable surrogates of benzyl anions and α-silyl carbanions utilized for nucleophilic addition and Peterson olefination reactions. Direct C-C couplings mediated by 1,2-dibromoethane provided entries into bibenzyls and [2.2]metacyclophanes. Comparison of reaction outcomes with the same reactions carried out in THF at -78 °C showed no negative effects for conducting the reactions under these milder more user-friendly conditions.

The synthesis of bench-stable α,α-bis(trimethylsilyl)toluenes and tris(trimethylsilyl)methane is described and their use in stereoselective Peterson olefinations has been achieved with a wide substrate scope. Product stereoselectivity was poor with carbonyl electrophiles (E/Z ～1:1 to 4:1) though this was significantly improved by employing the corresponding substituted N-benzylideneaniline (up to 99:1) as an alternative electrophile. The olefination byproduct was identified as N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline and could be easily separated from product by aqueous acid extraction. Evidence for an autocatalytic cycle has been obtained.

A series of 12 phenyl-substituted arylpentamethyldisilanes 1a-1 have been synthesized in order to examine the regioselectivity of their nucleophilic Si,Si bond cleavage reactions under Still's conditions (MeLi/HMPA/0°C). It has been found that the sensitivity of these reactions to the electronic effects of the substituents in the phenyl ring could be described by the Hammett-type equation log(kA/kB) = 0.4334 + 2.421(Σσ); (correlation coefficient R = 0.983). The kA/kB ratio represents the relative rate of attack at silicon atom A (linked to the aryl ring) or at silicon atom B (away from the aryl ring) of the unsymmetrical disilanes. Thus, the present investigation shows that the earlier belief according to which the nucleophilic cleavage of unsymmetrical disilanes always produces the more stable silyl anionic species (thermodynamic control) should be abandoned, or at least seriously amended: kinetic factors appear to exert a primary influence on the regioselectivity of such reactions. Since the two major kinetic factors (i.e., electrophilic character of and steric hindrance at a given silicon atom) have opposite effects on the orientation of the reaction, it may happen that kinetic and thermodynamic control lead to the same result. For some of the unsymmetrical disilanes studied, the major reaction path was not the Si,Si bond cleavage; instead, Si-aryl bond breaking occurred, producing the corresponding aryl anions.
