Late transition metal silylenoid complexes

Late transition metal silylenoid complexes were first synthesized by exploiting the lability of silicon-triflate bonds (Scheme 7.2).34 37 Tilley and coworkers reported that... 

Scheme 7.2. Synthesis of late transition metal silylenoid complexes. 

Tilley and coworkers reported a more direct procedure for the synthesis of late transition metal silylenoid complexes by reaction with silanes [equation (7.1)].36,37 Exposing iridium complex 14 to dimesitylsilane afforded iridium silylenoid 15.36 In addition to dimesitylsilane, other silanes could be used, including diphenyl-, diethyl-, or dimethylsilane. Primary silanes such as mesitylsilane and 2,4,6-triisopropylphe-nylsilane were also tolerated as substrates.37...
