An Electroreductive Approach to Radical Silylation via the Activation of Strong Si-Cl Bond.

ABSTRACT: The construction of C(sp³)-Si bonds is important in synthetic, medicinal, and materials chemistry. In this context, reactions mediated by silyl radicals have become increasingly attractive but methods for accessing these intermediates remain limited. We present a new strategy for silyl radical generation via electroreduction of readily available chlorosilanes. At highly biased potentials, electrochemistry grants access to silyl radicals through energetically uphill reductive cleavage of strong Si-Cl bonds. This strategy proved to be general in various alkene silylation reactions including disilylation, hydrosilylation, and allylic silylation under simple and transition-metal-free conditions.

Activation of Si-Si Bonds for Copper(I)-Catalyzed Conjugate Silylation.

Project description:Several alkyl- and vinylsilanes were prepared through the copper(I)-catalyzed conjugate silylation of ?,?-unsaturated compounds. Optimal reaction conditions were first investigated to realize the conjugate addition of a nucleophilic silicon species to poorly electrophilic acceptors such as phenylvinyl sulfone by cleavage of the Si-Si bond of a disilane reagent. The scope of this reaction was extended to various electrophiles bearing different electron-withdrawing groups and afforded the desired substituted alkyl- and vinylsilanes. Among the wide range of commercially available disilanes, the reactivities of alkyl-, aryl-, and ethoxydisilane were also examined.

Silylation reactions on nanoporous gold <i>via</i> homolytic Si-H activation of silanes.

Project description:Si-H bond activation is an important process implicated in many useful synthetic applications including silylation and transfer hydrogenation reactions. Herein we discovered homolytic activation of Si-H bonds on the surface of nanoporous gold (NPG), forming hydrogen radicals and [Au]-[Si] intermediates. By virtue of this new reactivity, we achieved highly selective mono and sequential alcoholysis of dihydrosilane. In addition, the amphiphilic nature of the [Au]-[Si] intermediate allows for a new bis-silylation reaction of cyclic ethers. The present work showcased that the surface reactivity of nanocatalysts may provide exciting opportunity for new reaction discovery.

Electroreductive Carbofunctionalization of Alkenes with Alkyl Bromides via a Radical-Polar Crossover Mechanism.

Project description:Electrochemistry grants direct access to reactive intermediates (radicals and ions) in a controlled fashion toward selective organic transformations. This feature has been demonstrated in a variety of alkene functionalization reactions, most of which proceed via an anodic oxidation pathway. In this report, we further expand the scope of electrochemistry to the reductive functionalization of alkenes. In particular, the strategic choice of reagents and reaction conditions enabled a radical-polar crossover pathway wherein two distinct electrophiles can be added across an alkene in a highly chemo- and regioselective fashion. Specifically, we used this strategy in the intermolecular carboformylation, anti-Markovnikov hydroalkylation, and carbocarboxylation of alkenes-reactions with rare precedents in the literature-by means of the electroreductive generation of alkyl radical and carbanion intermediates. These reactions employ readily available starting materials (alkyl halides, alkenes, etc.) and simple, transition-metal-free conditions and display broad substrate scope and good tolerance of functional groups. A uniform protocol can be used to achieve all three transformations by simply altering the reaction medium. This development provides a new avenue for constructing Csp3-Csp3 bonds.

Catalytic asymmetric C-Si bond activation via torsional strain-promoted Rh-catalyzed aryl-Narasaka acylation.

Project description:Atropisomers are important organic frameworks in bioactive natural products, drugs as well as chiral catalysts. Meanwhile, silanols display unique properties compared to their alcohol analogs, however, the catalytic synthesis of atropisomers bearing silanol groups is challenging. Here, we show a rhodium-catalyzed torsional strain-promoted asymmetric ring-opening reaction for the synthesis of α-silyl biaryl atropisomers. The reaction features a dynamic kinetic resolution of C(Ar)-Si bond cleavage, whose stereochemistry was controlled by a phosphoramidite ligand derived from (S)-3-methyl-1-((2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)sulfonyl)piperazine. This work is a demonstration of an aryl-Narasaka acylation, where the C(Ar)-Si bond cleavage is promoted by the torsional strain of α, α'-disubstituted silafluorene.

Emergence of a New [NNN] Pincer Ligand via Si-H Bond Activation and ?-Hydride Abstraction at Tetravalent Cerium.

Project description:The cerium(IV) pyrazolate complexes [Ce(Me2 pz)4 ]2 and [Ce(Me2 pz)4 (thf)] initiate ?-hydride abstraction of the bis(dimethylsilyl)amido moiety, to afford a heteroleptic cerium(IV) species containing a dimethylpyrazolyl-substituted silylamido ligand, namely [Ce(Me2 pz)3 (bpsa)] (bpsa=bis((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)dimethylsilyl)amido; Me2 pz =3,5-dimethylpyrazolato), along with some cerium(III) species. Remarkably, the nucleophilic attack of the pyrazolyl at the silicon atom and concomitant Si-H-bond cleavage is restricted to the tetravalent cerium oxidation state and appears to proceed via the formation of a transient cerium(IV) hydride, which engages in immediate redox chemistry. When [Ce(Me2 pz)4 ]2 is treated with [Li{N(SiMe3 )2 }], that is, in the absence of the SiH functionality, any redox chemistry did not occur. Instead, the ceric ate complex [LiCe2 (Me2 pz)9 ] and the stable mixed-ligand ceric species [Ce(Me2 pz)2 {N(SiMe3 )2 }2 ] were obtained.

Synthesis of (-)-Picrotoxinin by Late-Stage Strong Bond Activation.

Project description:We report a concise, stereocontrolled synthesis of the neurotoxic sesquiterpenoid (-)-picrotoxinin (1, PXN). The brevity of the route is due to regio- and stereoselective formation of the [4.3.0] bicyclic core by incorporation of a symmetrizing geminal dimethyl group at C5. Dimethylation then enables selective C-O bond formation in multiple intermediates. A series of strong bond (C-C and C-H) cleavages convert the C5 gem-dimethyl group to the C15 lactone of PXN.

An Interlayer with Strong Pb-Cl Bond Delivers Ultraviolet-Filter-Free, Efficient, and Photostable Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:The inorganic metal oxides (IMOs), including titanium dioxide (TiO2) and tin dioxide (SnO2), inevitably induce decomposition of perovskite under UV illumination owing to their photocatalytic activity, and the use of a UV filter will add extra cost and reduce the effective power output. Here, we first reveal that the weak Pb-I bond in I-based perovskite is prone to breakage under UV photocatalysis, leading to serious degradation of the SnO2/perovskite interface. We introduced a chlorine-rich mixed-halide perovskite interlayer (ClMPI), which possesses an excellent tolerance to photocatalysis owing to the strong Pb-Cl bond, between the SnO2 and I-based perovskite. The ClMPI-based device achieves an enhanced efficiency of up to 21.01% (certified 20.17%). Most importantly, the resultant devices can maintain >94% of their initial performance after 180 h under outdoor solar irradiation, >80% after 500 h under UV irradiation, and 500 h under continuous full spectrum illumination at their maximum power points.

Construction of Inorganic Crown Ethers by s-Block-Metal-Templated Si-O Bond Activation.

Project description:We herein report the synthesis, structures, coordination ability, and mechanism of formation of silicon analogs of crown ethers. An oligomerization of 2 D2 (I) (2 Dn ,=(Me4 Si2 O)n ) was achieved by the reaction with GaI3 and MIx (M=Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Sr). In these reactions the metal cations serve as template and the anions (I- /[GaI4 ]- ) are required as nucleophiles. In case of MIx =LiI, [Li(2 D3 )GaI4 ] (1) is formed. In case of MIx =NaI, MgI2 , CaI2 , and SrI2 the compounds [M(2 D4 )(GaI4 )x ] (M=Mg2+ (3), Ca2+ (4), Sr2+ (5) are obtained. Furthermore the proton complex [H(2 D3 )][Ga2 I7 ] (6) was isolated and structurally characterized. All complexes were characterized by means of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, DOSY experiments and, except for compound 3, also by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to compare the affinity of M+ to 2 Dn and other ligands and to shed light on the formation of larger rings from smaller ones.

Mechanism of the cooperative Si-H bond activation at Ru-S bonds.

Project description:The nature of the hydrosilane activation mediated by ruthenium(ii) thiolate complexes of type [(R3P)Ru(SDmp)]+[BArF4]- is elucidated by an in-depth experimental and theoretical study. The combination of various ruthenium(ii) thiolate complexes and tertiary hydrosilanes under variation of the phosphine ligand and the substitution pattern at the silicon atom is investigated, providing detailed insight into the activation mode. The mechanism of action involves reversible heterolytic splitting of the Si-H bond across the polar Ru-S bond without changing the oxidation state of the metal, generating a ruthenium(ii) hydride and sulfur-stabilized silicon cations, i.e. metallasilylsulfonium ions. These stable yet highly reactive adducts, which serve as potent silicon electrophiles in various catalytic transformations, are fully characterized by systematic multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structural assignment is further verified by successful isolation and crystallographic characterization of these key intermediates. Quantum-chemical analyses of diverse bonding scenarios are in excellent agreement with the experimental findings. Moreover, the calculations reveal that formation of the hydrosilane adducts proceeds via barrierless electrophilic activation of the hydrosilane by sterically controlled ?1 (end-on) or ?2 (side-on) coordination of the Si-H bond to the Lewis acidic metal center, followed by heterolytic cleavage of the Si-H bond through a concerted four-membered transition state. The Ru-S bond remains virtually intact during the Si-H bond activation event and also preserves appreciable bonding character in the hydrosilane adducts. The overall Si-H bond activation process is exergonic with ?G0r ranging from -20 to -40 kJ mol-1, proceeding instantly already at low temperatures.

Base-Promoted C-C Bond Activation Enables Radical Allylation with Homoallylic Alcohols.

Project description:The Cα-Cβ bond in homoallylic alcohols can be activated under basic conditions, qualifying these nonstrained acyclic systems as radical allylation reagents. This reactivity is exemplified by photoinitiated (with visible light and/or blue LEDs) allylation of perfluoroalkyl and alkyl radicals generated from perfluoroalkyl iodides and alkylpyridinium salts, respectively, with homoallylic alcohols. C-radical addition to the double bond of the title reagents and subsequent base-promoted homolytic Cα-Cβ cleavage leads to the formation of the corresponding allylated products along with ketyl radicals that act as single electron reductants to sustain the chain reactions. Substrate scope is documented and the role of base in the C-C bond activation is studied by computation.
