Phosphines as Silylium Ion Carriers for Controlled C-O Deoxygenation: Catalyst Speciation and Turnover Mechanisms
Gudz, Anton,Payne, Philippa R.,Gagné, Michel R.
, p. 4047 - 4053 (2017)
We report studies delineating the speciation, kinetics, and deoxygenation catalysis of phosphine-modified mixtures of B(C6F5)3 (BCF) and R3SiH. Combinations of BCF, a tertiary silane, and PAr3 generat
Metal-Free Catalytic Reductive Cleavage of Enol Ethers

In contrast to the well-known reductive cleavage of the alkyl-O bond, the cleavage of the alkenyl-O bond is much more challenging especially using metal-free approaches. Unexpectedly, alkenyl-O bonds were reductively cleaved when enol ethers were reacted with Et3SiH and a catalytic amount of B(C6F5)3. Supposedly, this reaction is the result of a B(C6F5)3-catalyzed tandem hydrosilylation reaction and a silicon-assisted β-elimination. A mechanism for this cleavage reaction is proposed based on experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Pyridinium-phosphonium dications: Highly electrophilic phosphorus-based Lewis acid catalysts
Bayne, Julia M.,Holthausen, Michael H.,Stephan, Douglas W.
, p. 5949 - 5957 (2016/04/26)
Using commercially available 2-pyridyldiphenylphosphine (o-NC5H4)PPh2, a family of electrophilic phosphonium cations [(o-NC5H4)PFPh2]+ (2) and dications [(o-MeNC5H4)PRPh2]2+ (R = F (4); Me (5)) were prepared. The Lewis acidity of these pyridinium-phosphonium dications was probed in Friedel-Crafts dimerization, hydrodefluorination, hydrosilylation, dehydrocoupling and hydrodeoxygenation reactions. The influence of the counterion on the catalytic activity of the electrophilic phosphonium cations is also discussed.
