RESUMO
We report on the insertion of electron deficient alkyne, dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD), into the E-Si bond of hypersilyl tetrylenes, PhC(NtBu)2ESi(SiMe3)3 (E = Ge and Sn), at room temperature. Uniquely, the germylene leads to cis alkenes, while the stannylene gives access to trans alkenes, and the insight into divergent stereoselectivity has been obtained by DFT studies.
RESUMO
In this work, the insertion of CS2 into the Ge-Si bond of PhC(NtBu)2Ge-Si(SiMe3)3 (1) has been investigated, resulting in the formation of PhC(NtBu)2Ge-C(îS)-S-Si(SiMe3)3 (2). Interestingly, the addition of NHC to 2 allows the release of NHC·CS2 with concomitant regeneration of 1. Addition of another equivalent of 1 or an analogous hypersilyl silylene, [PhC(NtBu)2Si-Si(SiMe3)3], to 2 led to the formation of compounds with a GeîS (3) or a SiîS (4) bond.
RESUMO
The reaction of PhC(NtBu)2SiSi(SiMe3)3 (1) with Me3SiCH2Cl afforded an unsymmetrical sp2-sp3 disilene, 2, with concomitant elimination of Me3SiCl. The analogous reaction with PhC(NtBu)2SiCl resulted in the oxidative addition of the C-Cl bond at the Si(II) atom (3). The reactions of 2 with sulfur and selenium led to compounds with SiîE (EîS (4) and Se (5)) double bonds. Tellurium reacted differently with 2 and furnished a zwitterionic compound, 6.
RESUMO
Herein, we have undertaken the synthesis and investigated the reactivity of a 6-membered saturated NHC borane adduct (1). Direct electrophilic halogenation of 1 with a stoichiometric amount of I2 led to NHC boryl iodides, 6-SIDipp·BH2I (2) and 6-SIDipp·BHI2 (3), which were further reacted with various nucleophiles to give novel 6-SIDipp based mono and disubstituted boranes with OTf (4 and 6) or ONO2 (5 and 7) functional groups. The addition of Br2/H2O to 1 smoothly results in a dihydroxyborenium cation (8).
RESUMO
The reaction of IDipp with C5F5N led to functionalization of all three carbon atoms of the imidazole ring with HF2- as the counter-anion (1). Reactivity with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine gives only C-F bond activation leaving C-H bonds intact (5b). The reaction of SIDipp with C5F5N in the presence of BF3 afforded the ring cleavage product (3). Analogous reactions with silylene led to oxidative addition at the Si(ii) center.
