Two recently reported air- and water-stable di-Rh complexes based on 1,3-bis(3′-butylbenzimidazol-2′-ylidene)benzene were utilized as catalysts for hydrosilylation. Among the substrates investigated were aldehydes, ketones, α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, acyl chlorides, nitriles, alkenes, nitro groups, isocyanates, and tertiary amides. Additionally, carbon dioxide underwent hydrosilylation to produce dimethylphenylsilylformate. The catalysts compared well to other previously reported hydrosilylation catalysts, and the Rh-Cl catalyst was found to be faster and more selective than the Rh-I complex in each case.

The preparation of enol silyl ethers using a carbonyl addition-Brook rearrangement-elimination sequence was studied. The key intermediate α-silyl-β-X-alkoxides could be prepared in several different ways, including the addition of organolithium or hydride reagents to α-X-acylsilanes (path a, using RM with R = alkyl, aryl, vinyl, alkynyl, silyl, stannyl, phosphinyl, and cyano), the addition of α-X-lithium reagents to acylsilanes (path b, X = phenylthio, phenylsulfonyl), or the addition of silyllithium reagents to α-X-ketones (path c, X = phenylthio, alkoxy). All of the reactions gave complete regiocontrol of silyl enol ether formation, and many gave excellent (>99%) stereocontrol as well. The selectivity of the carbonyl addition, silyl rearrangement, and elimination was studied. For path a, when the R group of RM was a poor carbanion stabilizing group the elimination of the intermediate α-silyl-β-X-alkoxides was stereospecific, and there was a large difference in rate between erythro and threo (erythro > threo). When R was a carbanion stabilizing group, such as aryl or alkynyl, the elimination process became nonstereospecific in some cases, and only small differences between threo and erythro were observed. Path b was especially effective with α-sulfonyl lithium reagents, and these reactions gave predominantly E enol silyl ethers (4/1 to 20/1). The addition of organolithium reagents to β-X-acylsilanes (the homologue of path a) was also briefly explored as a synthesis of siloxy-cyclopropanes.
