Addition of bulky primary silanes to the osmium benzyl compound, Cp*(iPr3P)OsCH2Ph, afforded two neutral hydrogen-substituted silylene complexes via activation of two Si-H bonds. These species have been structurally characterized, and their reactivity has been examined experimentally and computationally. Comparison of these neutral silylene complexes with their cationic analogue highlights the dramatic influence of charge distribution on the reaction chemistry of metal silylene complexes.

Reactions of cyclic thioureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-thione and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-thione) and ureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-one and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one) with an isolable dialkylsilylene were examined. In these reactions, cyclic thioureas served as sulfur and NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) sources, and the corresponding silanethione and NHC-derived products formed via silanethione-NHC complexes. Reactions of cyclic ureas with the silylene afforded a new NHC and an isolable azomethine ylide.

We have explored NHSi-supported copper(I) complexes as active and highly efficient catalysts for A (aldehyde-alkyne-amine) and KA (ketone-alkyne-amine) three-component coupling reactions to synthesize propargyl amines in excellent yields with high TOF under solvent-and additive-free conditions.

The isolation of silicon analogues of phenyl anions such as (CH) and (CH) is challenging owing to their extremely high reactivity associated with their silylene character and weak C-Si π-interaction. Herein, we report the first annulated 1,4-disilabenzene-1,4-diide compound [(ADC)Si] () based on anionic dicarbene (ADC) scaffolds (ADC = PhC{N(Dipp)C}; Dipp = 2,6-PrCH) as a green-yellow crystalline solid. Compound is prepared by KC reduction of the Si(IV) chloride [(ADC)SiCl] () or the cyclic bis-chlorosilylene [(ADC)SiCl] (), which are also prepared for the first time.

Herein, we report the reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbene stabilized silylene-phosphinidene IDippPSi(TMS)SiTol (IDipp = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene) with ammonia, which results in an intermolecular 1,5-hydroamination and dearomatization of the NHC wingtip. DFT calculations reveal an unprecedented mechanism involving ammonia coordination to the silicon center, Meisenheimer-type complex formation, and a proton abstraction by the dearomatized aryl moiety.
