A dirhodium-catalyzed, β-selective C-H amination of organosilicon compounds has been developed. Primary C(sp)-H bonds of silylethyl groups and secondary C(sp)-H bonds of silacycloalkanes can be selectively converted to C-N bonds at the β-position of the silicon atoms. The experimental data and theoretical calculations indicate that the strong σ-donor ability of the carbon-silicon bonds is responsible for the β-selectivity. Kinetic isotope effects clearly demonstrate that the C-H bond cleavage step is not turnover-limiting, but selectivity-determining.

Transannular S···N interactions in 10-ethynyl-10H-phenothiazine 5-oxide and 5,5-dioxide.

Acta Crystallogr C

December 2013

Department of Material Science and Chemistry, Wakayama University, Sakaedani, Wakayama 640-8510, Japan.

The title compounds, C14H9NOS, (1), and C14H9NO2S, (2), are oxidation products of the parent compound 10-ethynyl-10H-phenothiazine. They differ with respect to transannular interactions, the intramolecular S···N contact being shorter in (2). Intermolecular Csp-H···O hydrogen bonds were detected in both crystals, and (1) was found to form stronger hydrogen bonds.
