Hydrosilylation hydrosilanes

A catalytic mechanism, which is supported by deuterium-labeling experiments in the corresponding Ru-catalyzed procedure [146], is shown in Scheme 47. Accordingly, the reactive Fe-hydride species is formed in situ by the reaction of the iron precatalyst with hydrosilane. Hydrosilylation of the carboxyl group affords the 0-silyl-A,0-acetal a, which is converted into the iminium intermediate b. Reduction of b by a second Fe-hydride species finally generates the corresponding amine and disiloxane.

The reaction of hydrosilanes with butadiene is different from other reactions. Different products are obtained depending on the structurelof the hydrosilanes and the reaction conditions. Trimethylsiiane and other trialkylsilanes react to give the I 2 adduct, namely the l-trialkylsilyl-2,6-octadiene 74, in high yields[67-69]. Unlike other telomers which have the 2,7-octadienyl chain, the 2,6-octadienyl chain is formed by hydrosilylation. On the other hand, the 1 I adduct 75 (l-trichlorosilyl-2-butene)is formed selectively with trichlorosilane, which is more reactive than trialkylsilanes[69]. The Reaction gives the Z form stereoselectively[70]. A mixture of the I 1 and I 2 adducts (83.5 and 5.2%) is... 

Organosilicon compounds are widely used in our daily life as oil, grease, rubbers, cosmetics, medicinal chemicals, etc. However, these compounds are not naturally occurring substances but artificially produced ones (for reviews of organosilicon chemistry, see [59-64]). Hydrosilylation reactions catalyzed by a transition-metal catalyst are one of the most powerful tools for the synthesis of organosilicon compounds. Reaction of an unsaturated C-C bond such as alkynes or alkenes with hydrosilane affords a vinyl- or alkylsilane, respectively (Scheme 16). 

Intramolecular asymmetric hydrosilylation-oxidation of (alkenyloxy) hydrosilanes provides an efficient method for the preparation of optically active polyols from al-lylic alcohols. Cyclization of silyl ethers 54 of a meso-type allyUc alcohol in the pres-... 

Mono- and bis(silyl)platinum(II) complexes are believed to play important catalytic roles in hydrosilylation, dehydrocoupling, and double silylation reactions with disilanes and hydrosilanes. A stable, mono(silyl)platinum(II) complex has been prepared by the oxidative addition reaction of the sterically hindered, primary arylsilane 2,6-Mes2C6H3SiH3 (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene) to the platinum(O) species [Pt(PPr3)3] in hexane solution at room temperature.133 The colorless product m-[PLl 1(2,6-Mes2C6II3(11 )2Si)(PPr3)2] (21) was isolated as the OPPr3 adduct, and its... 

The rhodium-catalyzed cyclization/hydrosilylation of internal diyne proceeds efficiently with high stereoselectivity (Scheme 106). However, terminal diynes show low reactivity to rhodium cationic complexes. Tolerance of functionalities seems to be equivalent between the rhodium and platinum catalysts. The bulkiness of the hydrosilane used is very important for the regioselectivity of the rhodium-catalyzed cyclization/hydrosilylation. For example, less-hindered dimethylethylsilane gives disilylated diene without cyclization (resulting in the double hydrosilylation of the two alkynes), and /-butyldimethylsilane leads to the formation of cyclotrimerization compound. 

Recently, another type of catalytic cycle for the hydrosilylation has been reported, which does not involve the oxidative addition of a hydrosilane to a low-valent metal. Instead, it involves bond metathesis step to release the hydrosilylation product from the catalyst (Scheme 2). In the cycle C, alkylmetal intermediate generated by hydrometallation of alkene undergoes the metathesis with hydrosilane to give the hydrosilylation product and to regenerate the metal hydride. This catalytic cycle is proposed for the reaction catalyzed by lanthanide or a group 3 metal.20 In the hydrosilylation with a trialkylsilane and a cationic palladium complex, the catalytic cycle involves silylmetallation of an alkene and metathesis between the resulting /3-silylalkyl intermediate and hydrosilane (cycle D).21... 

Although it is not a catalytic asymmetric hydrosilylation, chirality transfer was reported in the palladium-catalyzed addition of an enantiomerically enriched hydrosilane to norbornene.76... 

For the conversion of silyl-carbon bond in the cyclization products into hydroxy-carbon bond, several functionalized hydrosilanes were examined (Scheme 27).84,84a,84b Of the hydrosilanes examined, benzhydryldimethylsilane (HSiMe2CHPh2) was found to be most enantioselective in the reaction of diene 86a to give the cyclization product 87a with 93% ee. The second highest enantioselectivity (91% ee) was observed with hydrosiloxane HSiMe2OSiPh2Bu-/. The cyclization-hydrosilylation with the HSiMe2CHPh2 and catalyst 88 was very successful... 

In 1985, Hiyama and co-workers reported the hydrosilylation of l,4-bis(trimethylsi-lyl)-l,3-butadiyne (131a) [107, 108], In the presence of transition metal catalysts, double hydrosilylation proceeded in a stepwise manner and tetrasilylallenes (134) were obtained with a proper choice of the catalyst and hydrosilane (Scheme 3.67). 

For the selective 1,4-hydrosilylation to 133 giving the allenic product 134, the presence and orientation of the two -SiMe3 groups at the 1- and 4-positions in 133 play important roles. Reaction of the hydrosilanes with the closely related conjugated enynes 136 and 137 in the presence of the Pt or Rh catalyst proceeded in a 1,2-addi-tion manner to produce conjugated dienes instead of allenes [108],... 

In contrast to the Pt(0) and Pt(II) complexes and the corresponding Rh(I) and Rh(III) complexes, the iridium complexes have rarely been employed as hydrosilylation catalysts [1-4]. Iridium-phosphine complexes with d metal configura-tion-forexample, [Ir(CO)Cl(PPh3)2] (Vaska s complex) and [Ir(CO)H(PPh3)3]-were first tested some 40 years ago in the hydrosilylation of olefins. Although they underwent oxidative addition with hydrosilanes (simultaneously to Rh(I) com-...
