A transition-metal-free (5+1) cycloaddition of aryl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) and hydrosilanes to afford silacyclohexanes is reported. Catalytic amounts of the trityl cation initiate the reaction by hydride abstraction from the hydrosilane, and further progress of the reaction is maintained by self-regeneration of the silylium ions. The new reaction involves a [1,2] migration of an aryl group, eventually furnishing 4- rather than 3-aryl-substituted silacyclohexane derivatives as major products. Various control experiments and quantum-chemical calculations support a mechanistic picture where a silylium ion intramolecularly stabilized by a cyclopropane ring can either undergo a kinetically favored concerted [1,2] aryl migration/ring expansion or engage in a cyclopropane-to-cyclopropane rearrangement.

The gold(I)- or Bronsted acid-catalyzed reaction of unactivated vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) with sulfonamides affords useful homoallylic amine derivatives. This ring-opening reaction occurs in a highly selective manner affording in the case of α-phenyl-subs
B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Vinylcyclopropanes

A hydrosilylation of vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) catalyzed by the strong boron Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 is reported. For the majority of VCPs, little or no ring opening of the cyclopropyl unit is observed. Conversely, for VCPs with bulky R groups, such as ortho-substituted aryl rings or branched alkyl residues, ring opening is the exclusive reaction pathway. This finding is explained by the thwarted hydride delivery to a sterically shielded, β-silicon-stabilized cyclopropylcarbinyl cation intermediate.

(NHC)-Cu (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes efficiently catalyzed the methylenation of a variety of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones in the presence of trimethylsilyldiazomethane, triphenylphosphine, and 2-propanol. The copper catalysts are not only inexpensive compared to rhodium complexes, but they also exhibit better functional group compatibility with aromatic aldehydes and ketones. Indeed very high yields were obtained for the formation of styrenes containing nitro, trifluoromethyl, amino, and ester groups, as well as for pyridine-, pyrrole-, and indole-substituted alkenes.
