DEHYDROGENATIVE SILYLATION, HYDROSILYLATION AND CROSSLINKING USING PYRIDINEDIIMINE COBALT CARBOXYLATE CATALYSTS

A process for producing a silylated product comprises reacting a mixture comprising (a) an unsaturated compound containing at least one unsaturated functional group, (b) a silyl hydride containing at least one silylhydride functional group, and (c) a catalyst, optionally in the presence of a solvent, to produce a dehydrogenative silylated product, a hydrosilylated product, or a combination of a dehydrogenative silylated product and a hydrosilylated product, wherein the catalyst is chosen from a pyridine diimine cobalt dicarboxylate complex or a cobalt carboxylate compound, and the process is conducted without pre-activating the catalyst via a reducing agent and/or without an initiator or promoter compound. The present catalysts have been found to be active in the presence of the silyl hydride employed in the silylation reaction.

Mode of activation of cobalt(II) amides for catalytic hydrosilylation of alkenes with tertiary silanes

Cobalt(II) complexes capable of catalyzing alkene hydrosilylation in the absence of external activators are rarely known, and their activation mode has remained poorly understood. We present here that cobalt(II) amide complexes, [Co(N(SiMe3)2)2] and its NHC adducts [(NHC)Co(N(SiMe3)2)2] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene), are effective catalysts for the hydrosilylation of alkenes with tertiary silanes. Mechanistic studies revealed that cobalt(II) amides can react with hydrosilane to form cobalt(I) species, silylamide, and hydrogen, which serves as the entry to the genuine catalytically active species, presumably cobalt(I) species, for the cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction.

Bench-Stable, Substrate-Activated Cobalt Carboxylate Pre-Catalysts for Alkene Hydrosilylation with Tertiary Silanes

High-spin pyridine diimine cobalt(II) bis(carboxylate) complexes have been synthesized and exhibit high activity for the hydrosilylation of a range of commercially relevant alkenes and tertiary silanes. Previously observed dehydrogenative silylation is suppressed with the use of sterically unencumbered ligands, affording exclusive hydrosilylation with up to 4000 TON. The cobalt precatalysts were readily prepared and handled on the benchtop and underwent substrate activation, obviating the need for external reductants. The cobalt catalysts are tolerant of epoxide, amino, carbonyl, and alkyl halide functional groups, broadening the scope of alkene hydrosilylation with earth-abundant metal catalysts.

Application of polyethyleneglycol (PEG) functionalized ionic liquids for the rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction of alkenes

Abstract Rh(PPh3)3Cl-polyethyleneglycol (PEG) functionalized ionic liquids with various anions were used as a catalytic system for the hydrosilylation reaction of alkenes. The influence of the anion of the ionic liquid has been investigated. It was found that the anion has an impact on the catalytic activity and selectivity. [PEG400DIL][PF6]-[Rh(PPh3)3Cl] shows an improved catalytic performance towards the hydrosilylation reaction of alkenes. The scope of alkenes and recycling of the catalytic system have been investigated.

Use of carboxylated polyethylene glycol as promoter for platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes

Several carboxylated polyethylene glycols as promoters were applied in the platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes, and polyethylene glycol maleic acid monoester as a promoter for hydrosilylation was investigated. It was found that an improvement of the selectivity was achieved in the presence of carboxylated polyethylene glycol, and the β-adduct as major product was obtained. Additionally, the effect of alkenes and silanes employed on the selectivity was investigated; better selectivity could be achieved when (EtO)3SiH was used as the hydride than ClMe2SiH.
