Silanes reaction with epoxides

Allyl silanes react with epoxides, in the presence of Bp3-OEt2 to give 2-allyl alcohols. The reaction of a-bromo lactones and CH2=CHCH2Si SiMe3)3 and AIBN leads to the a-allyl lactone. " Benzyl silanes coupled with allyl silanes to give ArCH2—R derivatives in the presence of VO(OEt)Cl2 " and allyltin compounds couple with allyl silanes in the presence of SnCU. " Allyl silanes couple to the a-carbon of amines under photolysis conditions. ...

Importantly, for a particular application, and where the metals to be joined have been specified, an overall metal bonding system should be considered. Typically, this will include selection of a suitable adhesive and possibly primer or coupling agent in combination with appropriate methods of surface preparation or pre-treatment. Organofunctional silanes (see Silane adhesion promoters) are commonly used coupling agents, which have been demonstrated to provide covalent chemical bonds with steel or aluminium surfaces and possess epoxide or amine functionality for reaction with Epoxide adhesives. 

In the presence of Lewis acids allyl silanes and stannanes react with epoxides generally at the sterically less demanding carbon atom. Other electron-rich alkenes, such as ketene acetals, can also be used as nucleophiles. The strong Lewis acids required might, however, also lead to rearrangement of the epoxide before addition of the nucleophile can occur (last reaction, Scheme 4.72).

Although the conditions of catalysis have not yet been optimized, the results are interesting in the sense that these heterogeneous molecular catalysts all show properties different from their molecular counterparts, in terms of either activity (epoxidation of olefins, MPVO reactions, silane activation) or selectivities (epoxidation for example). These features need to be further investigated, by varying the number of solid ligands in the coordination sphere of Zr preliminary experiments with epoxidation of olefins show that this parameter is important for the activity of Zr. 

Considering the same filler content, the compound with silanized silica presents a maximum G" value lower (70 MPa) than that with non silanized silica. This result can be understanding, in the case when the silica surface activity decrease, due to the silanization reaction. As consequence of the silanization, the physical interaction of the less polar filler surface with epoxidized SBR, or the cross section of the chemical bond became reduced. Both mechanisms cause a decrease in the volume... 

The addition—reaction product of bisphenol A [80-05-07] and glycidyl methacrylate [106-91-2] is a compromise between epoxy and methacrylate resins (245). This BSI—GMA resin polymerizes through a free-radical induced covalent bonding of methacrylate rather than the epoxide reaction of epoxy resins (246). Mineral fillers coated with a silane coupling agent, which bond the powdered inorganic fillers chemically to the resin matrix, are incorporated into BSI—GMA monomer diluted with other methacrylate monomers to make it less viscous (245). A second monomer commonly used to make composites is urethane dimethacrylate [69766-88-7]. 

Cleavage of Si—C bonds (12,243-245). This oxidation can be used to convert vinylsilanes in three steps to syn- or anti-1,2-diols. Thus Grignard reagents cleave epoxides of vinylsilanes selectively to (3-hydroxy silanes, which can be oxidized with retention of configuration to 1,2-diols. When applied to an (E)-vinylsilane, the sequence results in the syn-l,2-diol the an -l,2-diol is obtained from a (Z)-vinylsilane by the same reactions.
