Hydrolytic oxidation of various hydrosilanes in acetonitrile and in the absence of organic solvents catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis is described. The NHC organocatalyst exhibited a very high activity with only 0.1 mol% loading of the catalyst in acetonitrile for aryl-substituted dihydrosilanes to produce hydrogen gas and cyclosiloxanes almost quantitatively in several minutes. The calculated TOF (15 000 h-1) of this organocatalyst is comparable to those of precious metal-based heterogeneous catalysts and much superior to those of the existing homogeneous metal catalysts. The catalytic reaction selectively yielded cyclosiloxanes in high yield without the contamination of silanols. Furthermore, the catalytic reaction can also be furnished under solvent-free conditions at elevated temperatures with 2.5 mol% loading of the NHC in 5-12 hours.

Dimethylformamide (DMF) undergoes double-reduction to yield trimethylamine as a result of the concerted activation of DMF by two Si-H bonds (from different Si atoms) over Pt(0) nanoparticles as catalytic centers. Sterics on the Si atom govern the reaction and are also decisive for the structure of siloxane products due to potential limitations on the concerted activation. This journal is
cis-trans-cis-Tetrabromotetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane: A versatile precursor of ladder silsesquioxanes

The title compound was isolated for the first time by a novel procedure including dephenylbromination of cyclotetrasiloxane. The stereostructure of the tetrabromide was confirmed by condensation with diphenylsilanediol, affording anti-tricyclo[7.3.1.13.7]hexasiloxane. This tetrabromide spontaneously decomposed in air to afford a white powder insoluble in organic solvents. Measurements of the TG, IR, and solid-state NMR spectra of the product revealed that a ladder polysilsesquioxane with high thermal stability and stereoregularity was obtained.

A new facile preparative method for the synthesis of organocyclosiloxanes is reported. Ring closure of the dichlorosilanes with NaHCO3 and pyridine gave mixture of organocyclosiloxanes with cyclotrisiloxane as a main product.

The kinetics and mechanism of thermal decomposition of R1R2(H)SiOOR3 silylperoxides have been studied.It has been shown that peroxides generated diorganosilanones, R1R2Si=O, with a high yield in the temperature range 130-180 deg C.A mechanism is suggested for the silanone formation.The interaction of silanones with cyclosiloxanes, triethylsilane, α-methylstyrene has been investigated as well as the cyclisation of silanones.
