Nickel sulfide silane reaction with carbonyl compounds

Silanes normally reduce aldehydes or ketones under catalytic conditions to the silyl ethers. However, with certain catalysts such as nickel sulfide,Co2(CO)8, or (Ph3P)3RhCl, carbonyl compounds react with silanes to yield an equilibrium mixture of enol silyl ethers (Scheme 17). In a similar vein, the silyl-hydroformylation reaction of cycloalkenes with CO and silanes may be a practical way to prepare enol silyl ethers. An example is the preparation of compound (49). Catalytic 1,4-hydrosilation of a, -un-saturated ketones or aldehydes gives the corresponding enol silyl ethers. The reaction is similar to the reductive silylation referred to previously, but the reaction conditions are neutral and milder. The formation of the enol silyl ether (50) is outlined below. ...
