Polycyclic compounds containing a six-membered silacycle are important. However, we have limited knowledge of the nature of these six-membered silacycles because methodologies for their synthesis remain under-developed. Here, we have developed a one-pot enyne metathesis/Diels-Alder/oxidation methodology for the synthesis of six-membered silacycles. Some of these compounds are novel fluorophores.

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.

An Fe(II) bromide complex supported by a bidentate phosphine ligand and an η(C)-coordinated six-membered silacycle-bridged biphenyl-based ligand is converted upon reduction into an Fe(I) complex in which the hapticity of the silacycle-based ligand increases from η to η.

Treatment of 2,6-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-substituted chlorosilane with potassium followed by FeBr/TMEDA led to the formation of an iron(II) monobromide complex supported by a TMEDA ligand and a carbanion-based ligand containing a six-membered silacycle-bridged biphenyl skeleton. The obtained complex crystallized as a racemic mixture of (, ) and (, ) forms, in which the dihedral angle of the two phenyl rings of the biphenyl moiety was ∼43°.

A nickel-catalyzed reductive cyclization of 1,1-dichloroalkenyl silanes is reported. The products of this reaction are unsaturated five- or six-membered silacycles. Intermolecular variants are also described, providing access to trisubstituted vinyl silanes that are not accessible by alkyne hydrosilylation or sila-Heck-type processes.

We have developed a catalytic synthetic method to prepare phenoxasilins. A borane-catalyzed double sila-Friedel-Crafts reaction between amino group-containing diaryl ethers and dihydrosilanes can be used to prepare a variety of phenoxasilin derivatives in good to excellent yields. The optimized reaction conditions were also applicable for diaryl thioethers to afford their corresponding six-membered silacyclic products.
