In this communication, we report a new approach to the allocolchicine carbocyclic skeleton based upon an aryl siloxane coupling reaction and a phenanthrol ring expansion. These key steps allow for the selective functionalization of every carbon within the carbocyclic framework. The siloxane coupling-phenanthrol sequence was applied to the synthesis of two allocolchicinoids, including the first fully synthetic approach to N-acetyl colchinol-O-methyl ether (NCME).

A DFT study was performed on the mechanisms of B(CF)-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes/ketones, using PhSiH and stoichiometric water. Path B2 includes a stepwise Piers S2-Si process, H transfer, and hydrolysis desilylation of siloxane, in which the hydrolysis desilylation step is rate-determining. Path C1 is first determined, involving a B(CF)-catalyzed concerted addition step of 2HO to carbonyl generating RRC(OH), a subsequent S2-Si dehydroxylation step of RRC(OH) giving RRC=OH and (CF)B-H, and final H transfer producing the respective alcohol RRCHOH.

Chiral organosilanes are valuable chemical entities in the development of functional organic materials, asymmetric catalysis, and medicinal chemistry. As an important strategy for constructing chiral organosilanes, the asymmetric functionalization of the Si-C bond typically relies on transition-metal catalysis. Herein, we present an efficient method for atroposelective synthesis of biaryl siloxane atropisomers via organocatalytic Si-C bond functionalization of dinaphthosiloles with silanol nucleophiles.

Functional group exchanges based on single-bond transformation are rare and challenging. In this regard, functional group exchange reactions of hydrosilanes proved to be more problematic. This is because this exchange requires the cleavage of the C-Si bond, while the Si-H bond is relatively easily activated for hydrosilanes.

In the past few decades, organosilicon fluorescent materials have attracted great attention in the field of fluorescent materials not only due to their abundant and flexible structures, but also because of their intriguing fluorescence properties, distinct from silicon-free fluorescent materials. Considering their unique properties, they have found broad application prospects in the fields of chemosensor, bioimaging, light-emitting diodes, etc. However, a comprehensive review focusing on this field, from the perspective of their catalogs and applications, is still absent.
