Alkene hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation reactions, mediated by [Rh(cod)(NHC)(OH)] complexes (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) are described. The study details a comparison of the catalytic activity and steric characteristics of four rhodium complexes bearing different NHC ligands. The novel [Rh(cod)(Ii-PrMe)(OH)] complex (Ii-PrMe = 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidine) was designed to improve the reactivity of Rh(I)-hydroxides and proved to be a successful promoter of hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation, displaying good stereo- and regiocontrol.

Octahedral Mn(I) complexes bearing tridentate donor ligands [(LL'L'')(CO)MnX] have recently emerged as major players in catalytic (de)hydrogenation processes. While most of these systems are still based on structurally rigid pincer scaffolds imposing a meridional coordination mode, for some more flexible tridentate ligands a facial arrangement of donor moieties becomes possible. Accordingly, the geometry of the corresponding Mn(I) hydrides [(LL'L'')(CO)MnH] directly involved in the catalytic processes, namely the nature of the donor extremity located in the -position of the hydride (CO and L for - and -configurations, respectively) may influence their hydride transfer ability.

The direct synthesis of terminal alkynes from widely available terminal alkenes is an unmet challenge in organic synthesis. Here, we show that alkyl and aromatic terminal alkenes can be converted to the corresponding alkynes in a one-pot process consisting of a Ru-catalyzed dehydrogenative hydrosilylation, followed by an oxidative dehydrogenative reaction of the vinyl silane intermediate, enabled by the combination of PhIO with BF. This formal alkene dehydrogenation reaction with commercially available reagents and under mild reaction conditions gives access to terminal alkynes in a simple manner, including acetylene.

Selective dehydrogenative C-H silylation is one of the most powerful tools to synthesize silacycles. Herein, we developed Ru-catalyzed sequential hydrosilylation/C-H silylation of allyl-indoles and dehydrogenative O-H/C-H silylation of pyrrole phenols. Both six-membered indole silacycles and pyrrole silyl ether cycles were successfully synthesized with good functional group tolerance.

Polymer research is currently focused on sustainable and degradable polymers which are cheap, easy to synthesize, and environmentally friendly. Silicon-based polymers are thermally stable and can be utilized in various applications, such as columns and coatings. Poly(silyl ether)s (PSEs) are an interesting class of silicon-based polymers that are easily hydrolyzed in either acidic or basic conditions due to the presence of the silyl ether Si-O-C bond.

The carbon-to-silicon switch in formation of bioactive sila-heterocycles with a silicon-stereogenic center has garnered significant interest in drug discovery. However, metal-catalyzed synthesis of such scaffolds is still in its infancy. Herein, a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective formal [4+1] cyclization of benzyl alcohols and benzaldimines has been realized by enantioselective difunctionalization of a secondary silane reagent, affording chiral-at-silicon cyclic silyl ethers and sila-isoindolines, respectively.
