A highly unsaturated six-vertex amido-substituted silicon cluster.

ABSTRACT: Thermal treatment of the bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilatetraamide [Si4{N(SiMe3)Dipp}4] 1 resulted in the formation of a highly unsaturated six-vertex silicon cluster [Si6{N(SiMe3)Dipp}4] 2 with only four amine-substituents and two ligand-free silicon atoms. In solution, a major and a minor conformer of this cluster are in equilibrium according to multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, lineshape analysis, DFT calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. The bonding situation in the highly unsaturated cluster features lone pair type character at the ligand-free silicon atoms and partial single and double bond character in the upper butterfly-shaped ring of 2. This allows to consider 2 as the silicon analogue of a butalene isomer.

Isolation and Versatile Derivatization of an Unsaturated Anionic Silicon Cluster (Siliconoid).

Project description:The characteristic features of bulk silicon surfaces are echoed in the related partially substituted-and thus unsaturated-neutral silicon clusters (siliconoids). The incorporation of siliconoids into more-extended frameworks is promising owing to their unique electronic features, but further developments in this regard are limited by the notable absence of functionalized siliconoid derivatives until now. Herein we report the isolation and full characterization of the lithium salt of an anionic R5 Si6 -siliconoid, thus providing the missing link between silicon-based Zintl anions and siliconoid clusters. Proof-of-principle for the high potential of this species for the efficient transfer of the intact unsaturated R5 Si6 moiety is demonstrated by clean reactions with representative electrophiles of Groups?13, 14, and 15.

Highly substituted 2-amido-furans from Rh(II)-catalyzed cyclopropenations of ynamides.

Project description:Rh(II)-catalyzed cyclopropenations of ynamides are described. Although an actual amido-cyclopropene intermediate may not be involved, these reactions provide a facile entry to highly substituted 2-amido-furans, thereby formerly constituting a [3 + 2] cycloaddition. An application of these de novo 2-amido-furans in N-tethered intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloadditions is also illustrated, leading to dihydroindoles and tetrahydroquinolines.

Enantioselective construction of six- and seven-membered triorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles.

Project description:The exploitation of chirality at silicon in asymmetric catalysis is one of the most intriguing and challenging tasks in synthetic chemistry. In particular, construction of enantioenriched mediem-sized silicon-stereogenic heterocycles is highly attractive, given the increasing demand for the synthesis of novel functional-materials-oriented silicon-bridged compounds. Here, we report a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective construction of six- and seven-membered triorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles. This process undergoes a direct dehydrogenative C-H silylation, giving access to a wide range of triorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities, that significantly enlarge the chemical space of the silicon-centered chiral molecules. Further elaboration of the chiral monohydrosilane product delivers various corresponding tetraorgano-substituted silicon-stereogenic heterocycles without the loss of enantiopurity. These silicon-bridged heterocycles exhibit bright blue fluorescence, which would have potential application prospects in organic optoelectronic materials.

Atomically Precise Expansion of Unsaturated Silicon Clusters.

Project description:Small- to medium-sized clusters occur in various areas of chemistry, for example, as active species of heterogeneous catalysis or as transient intermediates during chemical vapor deposition. The manipulation of stable representatives is mostly limited to the stabilizing ligand periphery, virtually excluding the systematic variation of the property-determining cluster scaffold. We now report the deliberate expansion of a stable unsaturated silicon cluster from six to seven and finally eight vertices. The consecutive application of lithium/naphthalene as the reducing agent and decamethylsilicocene as the electrophilic source of silicon results in the expansion of the core by precisely one atom with the potential of infinite repetition.

Gold(I)-catalyzed intermolecular cycloaddition of allenamides with ?,?-unsaturated hydrazones: efficient access to highly substituted cyclobutanes.

Project description:?,?-Unsaturated N,N-dialkyl hydrazones undergo a mild [2 + 2] cycloaddition to allenamides when treated with a suitable gold catalyst. The method, which represents the first application of N,N-dialkyl hydrazones in gold catalysis, is compatible with a wide variety of substituents at the alkenyl moiety of the hydrazone component, proceeds with excellent levels of regio- and diastereoselectivity, and provides densely substituted cyclobutanes with good to excellent yields.

Potent triazine-based dehydrocondensing reagents substituted by an amido group.

Project description:This study describes the synthesis of triazine-based dehydrocondensing reagents substituted by amido substituents and demonstrates their efficiency for dehydrocondensing reactions in MeOH and THF. N-Phenylbenzamido-substituted chlorotriazine is readily converted to a stable, non-hygroscopic triazinylammonium-based dehydrocondensing reagent that is superior to 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMT-MM) in terms of its reactivity in dehydrocondensing reactions.

Enantioselective synthesis of anti-beta-substituted gamma,delta-unsaturated amino acids: a highly selective asymmetric thio-Claisen rearrangement.

Project description:A novel synthesis of optically active anti-beta-substituted gamma,delta-unsaturated amino acids via a thio-Claisen rearrangement has been achieved. A 2,5-diphenylpyrrolidine was used as a C2-symmetric chiral auxiliary to control the stereochemistry, giving good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.

Chalcogen-Expanded Unsaturated Silicon Clusters: Thia-, Selena-, and Tellurasiliconoids.

Project description:Reactions of silylenes with heavier chalcogens (E) typically result in Si=E double bonds or their π-addition products. In contrast, the oxidation of a silylene-functionalized unsaturated silicon cluster (siliconoid) with Group 16 elements selectively yields cluster expanded siliconoids Si7 E (E=S, Se, Te) fully preserving the unsaturated nature of the cluster scaffold as evident from the NMR signatures of the products. Mechanistic considerations by DFT calculations suggest the intermediacy of a Si6 siliconoid with exohedral Si=E functionality. The reaction thus may serve as model system for the oxidation of surface-bonded silylenes at Si(100) by chalcogens and their diffusion into the silicon bulk.

Investigation on the reactivity of α-azidochalcones with carboxylic acids: Formation of α-amido-1,3-diketones and highly substituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)oxazoles.

Project description:The reaction of α-azidochalcones with carboxylic acids has been investigated resulting in the formation of α-amido-1,3-diketones under microwave irradiation via in situ formation of 2H-azirine intermediates. An interesting reaction is described wherein, with trifluoroacetic acid at lower temperature, it affords highly substituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)oxazoles. These flexible transformations proceed under solvent free conditions in good to excellent yields without any catalyst.

Reactivity of the Bicyclic Amido-Substituted Silicon(I) Ring Compound Si4 {N(SiMe3 )Mes}4 with FLP-Type Character.

Project description:The bicyclic amido-substituted silicon(I) ring compound Si4 {N(SiMe3 )Mes}4 2 (Mes=Mesityl=2,4,6-Me3 C6 H2 ) features enhanced zwitterionic character and different reactivity from the analogous compound Si4 {N(SiMe3 )Dipp}4 1 (Dipp=2,6-i Pr2 C6 H3 ) due to the smaller mesityl substituents. In a reaction with the N-heterocyclic carbene NHC Me4 (1,3,4,5-tetramethyl-imidazol-2-ylidene), we observe adduct formation to give Si4 {N(SiMe3 )Mes}4 ⋅ NHC Me4 (3). This adduct reacts further with the Lewis acid BH3 to yield the Lewis acid-base complex Si4 {N(SiMe3 )Mes}4 ⋅ NHC Me4 ⋅ BH3 (4). Coordination of AlBr3 to 2 leads to the adduct 5. Calculated proton affinities and fluoride ion affinities reveal highly Lewis basic and very weak Lewis acidic character of the low-valent silicon atoms in 1 and 2. This is confirmed by protonation of 1 and 2 with Brookharts acid yielding 6 and 7. Reaction with diphenylacetylene only occurs at 111 °C with 2 in toluene and is accompanied by fragmentation of 2 to afford the silacyclopropene 8 and the trisilanorbornadiene species 9.
