Solvolysis rates of 2-(aryldimethylsilyl)-1-methylethyl and 2-(aryldimethylsilyl)-1-tert-butylethyl trifluoroacetates were determined conductimetrically in 60% (v/v) aqueous ethanol. The effects of aryl substituents at the silicon atom on the solvolysis rates at 50 °C were correlated with σmacr; parameters of r+ = 0.15 with the Yukawa-Tsuno equation, giving ρ values of-1.5 for both secondary α-Me and α-tert-Bu systems. The ρ values for those secondary systems are less negative than-1.75 for the 2-(aryldimethylsilyl)ethyl system that proceeds by the Eaborn (non-vertical) mechanism, while they are distinctly more negative than-0.99 for 2-(aryldimethylsilyl)-1-phenylethyl system that should proceed by the Lambert (vertical) mechanism. There was a fairly linear relationship between the reaction constants (ρ) for the β-silyl substituent effects and the solvolysis reactivities for a series of β-silyl substrates. The solvolyses of the α-Me and tert-Bu substrates proceed through the transition state (TS) with an appreciable degree of the β-silyl participation, close to the Eaborn (non-vertical) TS rather than to the Lambert (vertical) TS.

The γ-silicon effect. I. Solvent effects on the solvolyses of 2,2- dimethyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)propyl and 3-(aryldimethylsilyl)-2,2- dimethylpropyl p-toluenesulfonates

The solvolysis rates of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)propyl and 3- (aryldimethylsilyl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl p-toluenesulfonates were measured in a wide variety of solvents at 45 °C. The solvent effects were analyzed by using the Winstein-Grunwald equation. The solvent effects observed did not give simple linear correlations with the 2-adamantyl Y(OTs) parameter, but showed dispersion behavior in a series of binary solvents. The m values of 0.59-.67 were remarkably lower than unity for the limiting k(c) solvolysis of 2-adamantyl p-toluenesulfonate. The deviation patterns could not be interpreted in terms of nucleophilic assistance by the solvent. The dispersion behavior with reduced m values was found to be more significant for the 3-(aryldimethylsilyl) than for the 3-(trimethylsilyl) derivatives and was compatible with the delocalization of the incipient cationic charge by participation of the Si-Cγ bond in the rate-determining step. An extended dual-parameter treatment, log (k/k(80E)) = m(c)Y(OTs) + m(Δ)Y(Δ), successfully correlated such γ-silyl assisted solvolyses. The M(Δ) values of 0.24-0.49 so obtained, where M(Δ) = 0.51 m(Δ)/(m(c) +0.51 m(Δ)), are a measure of the extent of charge delocalization, suggesting that the γ-silyl group in the percaudal interaction is more effective in delocalizing the cationic charge than the alkyl group in C-C σ-participation, but less so than σ-assisted interaction by the β-aryl group.
Reduction of Halosilanes by Organotin Hydrides

A study of the reduction of halosilanes with organotin hydrides is described.The free radical chain mechanism indicated by the results obtained parallels that known for the comparable reduction of haloalkanes, but the reactivity of α-haloalkanes is considerable enhanced.Mechanistic studies suggest that the polar nature of the halogen abstraction step in the radical chain sequence, which places incremental negative charge adjacent to silicon, is the principal reason for this enhanced reactivity.Structure-reactivity studies indicat the gem-dimethylsilyl function to be an electronic transmitter.The ρ values for reduction of aryldimethyl(chloromethyl)silanes and substituted benzyl chlorides by tri-n-butyltin hydride are essentially identical (+0.45).Reduction of (chloromethyl)trimethylsiulane with aryldimethyltin hydrides, conversely, yielded a ρ value of -1.61.The reduction produced racemic product from an optically active α-chlorosilane, the synthesis of which appears to the first reported.Other syntheses of variuos halosilanes of interest are also described.The title reduction is specific for carbon-halogen bonds.Silicon-halogen bonds are not affected, a distinction that should make the reduction synthetically useful.Because the increased reactivity of α-halosilanes in the reduction has thus been ascribed to a kinetic polar effect in a critical step of the mechanism, no compelling argument for special thermodynamic stability in α-silyl radicals themselves can be made.
