We have investigated, theoretically, the structural properties of potassium trimethylsilanolate in the gas phase at a B3LYP/6-31+G* level. For this purpose, a simplified ionic cluster model based on potassium trimethylsilanolate tetramers, proposed in the literature as the structural units of this compound in the solid state, was developed. Furthermore, we compared the validity of the model with two simpler ones: a monomer of potassium trimethylsilanolate and a trimethylsilanolate anion in the gas phase. The developed ionic cluster model was found to be best in reproducing the experimental structure of potassium trimethylsilanolate, supporting, at the same time, the existence of such tetrameric species (previously identified experimentally from mass spectrometry data by Weiss et al.) in the gas phase. Finally, NBO calculations highlighted the important role of the potassium counterion as a charge localizer in the structure of these chemical species.

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) remains one of the most widely used transformations available to chemists. Recently, robust new conditions achieving rapid reactivity under homogeneous aprotic conditions enabled by the use of potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK) as a base were reported. However, the strong inhibitory effect of TMSOK restricts the generality of such conditions.

A rapid, anhydrous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of alkylboronic esters with aryl halides is described. Parallel experimentation revealed that the combination of AntPhos, an oxaphosphole ligand, neopentyldiol alkylboronic esters, and potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK) enables successful cross-coupling. In general, reactions proceed in under 1 h with good yields and high linear/branched (/) selectivities.

Immobilized l-glutamic acid β-methyl ester was sulfonylated with 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride and alkylated with various α-haloketones. The resulting sulfonamides were reacted with potassium trimethylsilanolate. Then, upon cleavage from the polymer support, tetrasubstituted pyridines were produced as the result of one-step C-arylation, aldol condensation, and oxidation.

A transition-metal-free protocol for the arylation of -phenyl- and -benzoyl-substituted, benzaldehyde-derived imine derivatives with functionalized aryl pronucleophiles is reported. The aryl nucleophiles are released from silicon-protected aryl-substituted diazenes by desilylation with potassium trimethylsilanolate concomitant with the loss of dinitrogen. A broad range of functional groups is tolerated in the aryl nucleophile but, depending upon their electronic effect, require specific groups at the imine nitrogen atom.

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing biaryl compounds. However, classic Suzuki-Miyaura coupling suffers from hour-scale reaction time and competitive protodeboronation. To address these problems, a mild nonaqueous potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK)-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura coupling strategy was designed for the microsynthesis of biaryls in paper spray ionization (PSI).
