Trifluoroacetic acid-Alkylsilanes

The rate-determining step in the ionic hydrogenation reaction of carbon-carbon double bonds involves protonation of the C==C to form a carbocation intermediate, followed by the rapid abstraction of hydride from the hydride source (equation 45). ° There is a very sensitive balance between several factors in order for this reaction to be successful. The proton source must be sufficiently acidic to protonate the C—C to form the intermediate carbocation, yet not so acidic or electrophilic as to react with the hydride source to produce hydrogen. In addition, the carbocation must be sufficiently electrophilic to abstract the hydride from the hydride source, yet not react with any other nucleophile source present, i.e. the conjugate anion of the proton source. This balance is accomplished by the use of trifluoroacetic acid as the proton source, and an alkylsilane as the hydride source. The alkene must be capable of undergoing protonation by trifluoroacetic acid, which effectively limits the reaction to those alkenes capable of forming a tertiary or aryl-substituted carbocation. This essentially limits the application of this reaction to the reduction of tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes, and aryl-substituted alkenes. [Pg.486]
