Platinum complexes bearing bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, i.e., [Pt(IPr*)(dvtms)] (where, IPr* = 1,3-bis{2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl}imidazol-2-ylidene) and [Pt(IPr*OMe)(dvtms)] (where, IPr*OMe = 1,3-bis{2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methoxyphenyl}imidazol-2-ylidene, dvtms = divinyltetramethyldisiloxane) catalyse nearly quantitatively and highly or completely the selective hydrosilylation of terminal olefins as well as terminal or internal acetylenes.

Herein, we report the first example of molybdenum-catalyzed ()-Selective anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of alkynes. The reaction operates effectively with the utilization of minute amounts of the inexpensive, bench-stable pre-catalyst and ligand under mild conditions. Moreover, this molybdenum-catalyzed hydrosilylation process features the advantages of simple operation, excellent selectivity, and broad functional groups tolerance.

The selective and efficient synthesis of (E)-1,2,4-trisilylbut-1-en-3-ynes obtained via Pt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)buta-1,3-diyne is described. Optimized reaction conditions (Pt(PPh)) or Pt(dvs), 100 °C, toluene, 18 h) yielded compounds with high isolation yields (76-95%). The modification of (E)-1,2,4-trisilylbut-1-en-3-ynes was further tested in protodesilylation, halodesilylation, hydrosilylation, and Pd-based cross-coupling reactions, resulting in a broad spectrum of new products.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed α-Regioselective Hydroboration of Allenes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

December 2024

Department of Chemistry and the Hong Kong Branch of Chinese National Engineering Research Centre for Tissue Restoration & Reconstruction, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, 999077, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Hydroboration of allenes is powerful and atom-economic approach to the synthesis of organoboranes, such as the highly versatile allylboranes. However, regarding regiocontrol, existing methods uniformly deliver the boron functionality to the less hindered β- or γ-position, but not the α-position. The latter is particularly challenging for allenes with substantial steric difference between the two terminals and lacking electronic bias (e.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores sustainable methods for hydrosilylation of alkenes using 3d transition metals instead of traditional noble metals, focusing on how ligands and metal centers impact reaction mechanisms and selectivity.
  • It highlights that the electronic and steric properties of ligands, such as xantphos and PDI, influence regioselectivity, with xantphos promoting higher linear selectivity for cobalt catalysts.
  • The research shows that cobalt favors a specific modified mechanism for branched product formation due to lower activation barriers, suggesting that understanding ligand and metal center interactions can help optimize hydrosilylation reactions.

Herein, we describe the confinement of a N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) organocatalyst in the cavity of cyclodextrins (CDs). These confined organocatalysts allow the formylation of amines through CO hydrosilylation. The presence of the cavity of the CDs leads to substrate-selectivity between amines in competition reactions.
