Hydrosilylation of cyclohexene and allyl chloride with trichloro-, dichloro(methyl)-, and chlorodimethylsilanes in the presence of Pt(0) complexes

Hydrosilylation of cyclohexene and allyl chloride in the presence of Pt(0) complexes with tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane (Karstedt catalyst) and hexavinyldisiloxane was studied. It was shown that these catalysts are much more active in the hydrosilylation of cyclohexene with trichloro-, dichloro(methyl)-, and chlorodimethylsilane than the Pt(II)-containing Speier catalyst. In the hydrosilylation of allyl chloride in the presence of Pt(0) complexes, the ratio of the fraction of addition products to the fraction of reduction products increases from 5.7 (Speier catalyst) to 10–16. Quantum-chemical calculations showed that Pt(0) complexes are more active than Pt(II) complexes on the stage of formation of platinum silicon hydride complexes.     

Catalysis of hydrosilylation part XVIII. Pt(PPh3)2(CH2CH2) – a versatile catalyst for hydrosilylation of olefins

Pt(PPh₃)₂(CH₂?CH₂) appeared to be a versatile catalyst in hydrosilylation of alkenes (with 5–22 C atoms) as well as of functionalized alkenes such as allyl chloride, allylamine, allyl methacrylate and vinylsilanes. In comparison with a well-known Speier catalyst or with Pt(PPh₃)₄, this complex is characterized by a very high effectiveness (activity and selectivity) and relative resistance to oxygenation and it may be applied in recycling runs with a minor induction period. The catalytic processes examined are of great industrial importance since they lead to a synthesis of alkylsilanes, disilylethanes and silane coupling agents.     

Metal Complexes with Biologically Important Ligands. CLXVI Tetracarbonyl Complexes of Chromium(0) and Molybdenum(0) with Schiff Bases from Pyridine‐2‐carboxaldehyde and α‐Amino Acid Esters as N,N‐Chelate Ligands

The complexes [M(CO)₄(pyridyl‐CH=N‐CHRCO₂R′)] (M = Cr, Mo; R = H, CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂, CH₂CH(CH₃)₂) were obtained by reaction of the Schiff bases from pyridine‐2‐carboxaldehyde and glycine, L‐alanine, L‐valine or L‐leucine esters with the norbornadiene complexes [M(CO)₄(nbd)] and were characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and UV‐vis spectra. The deeply colored complexes exhibit solvatochromism.     

Chemical assembling of silica surface using a reaction of catalytic hydrosilylation

Chemical assembling of the silica surface modified by dimethylchlorosilane was performed by the catalytic hydrosilylation of 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, α-methyl styrene, acetophenone, allyl butyl and allyl glycidyl ethers with dimethylchlorosilane. The effect of the nature of complexes of platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium on the parameters of hydrosilylation was studied. It was shown that the maximum rate of hydrosilylation was observed in the reaction with allyl glycidyl ether, and minimum, with α-methylstyrene; the most effective catalyst of hydrosilylation was [Rh(CO)₂(acac)].     

Hydrosilylation of allyl glycidyl ether with triethoxysilane

Hydrosilylation of allyl glycidyl ether with triethoxysilane in presence of Speier’s catalyst leads to triethoxy(3-glycidoxypropyl)silane and triethoxy(2-glycidoxy-1-methylethyl)silane and is accompanied by isomerization of allyl glycidyl ether and cleavage of the oxirane ring and the ether bond. An effect of admixtures in allyl glycidyl ether on the process is revealed. Some other hydrosilylation catalysts and additives to Speier’s catalyst are studied     

Trisyl modification of epoxy- and chloromethyl-polysiloxanes

The new bulky organosilicon compound HC(Me₂SiCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₂CycloCHCH₂O)₃ was synthesized by hydrosilylation of tris(dimethylsilyl)methane (HMe₂Si)₃CH and allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ as a catalyst. Polysiloxanes containing 3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl and chloromethylphenethyl groups were synthesized by hydrosilylation of AGE and chloromethyl styrene (CMS) with hydrogen-containing polymethylsiloxane (PMHS). Both types of polymers could be modified by incorporation of the highly sterically-demanding tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl [trisyl = (Me₃Si)₃C] substituent. The trisyl (Tsi) groups were attached to the obtained polymers as side chains by reacting excess trisyl lithium with benzyl chloride and epoxy groups. The epoxy groups possess a higher reactivity for TsiLi than the chloromethyl groups. The ring opening reaction between the epoxy groups and TsiLi is fast. The modification increases the rigidity of the polymers as shown by differential scanning calorimetry analysis. The incorporation of the Tsi groups into the polymer structure creates macromolecules of novel architecture with potential use as membranes for fluid separation. All the resulting polymers were characterized by FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Allylstannation: VII. Preparation of carboxylic acid 1-alkene-4-yl and 1-alkyne-4-yl esters by transalkoxylation of 4-n-dibutylchlorostannoxy-1-alkenes and 4-n-dibutylchlorostannoxy-1-alkynes with acyl chlorides

Carboxylic acid 1-alkene-4-yl and 1-alkyne-4-yl, esters (RCH(CH₂CHCH₂)OCOR′ ad RCH(CH₂CCH)OCOR′, R = R′ or R ≠ R′ = alkyl or alkenyl group) can be readily prepared in high yields by transalkoxylation reactions between 4-n-dibutylchlorostannoxy-1-alkenes or 4-n-dibutylchlorostannoxy-1-alkynes with acyl chlorides. This represents a general route for preparation of esters containing allyl or propargyl groups.     

High‐valent Molybdenum Imido Complexes with Tethered Olefins

Against the background of the (propene)Mo(=O)(=NH) and (allyl)Mo(=O)(=NH) surface species suggested as intermediates of the SOHIO process the potential of H₂N–C₆H₄–CH₂– CH=CH–CH₃, ( I ), for the introduction of chelating imido/olefin or imido/allyl ligands at highvalent Mo centres was tested. Reaction of I with Na₂[MoO₄] and trimethylchlorosilane yielded [Cl₂Mo(=N–C₆H₄–CH₂–CH=CH–CH₃)₂(dme)] ( 1 ), containing pendant olefinic arms. All attempts to introduce the olefin into the coordination sphere of the Mo centre failed. The same observation was made with [Cl₂Mo(=O)(=N–C₆H₄–CH₂–CH=CH–CH₃)(dme)] ( 2 ), synthesised via a commutation reaction from 1 and[(dme)Cl₂Mo(=O)₂]. Reaction of three equivalents of I with [CpMoCl_4′] yields [CpCl₂Mo(=N–C₆H₄–CH₂–CH=CH–CH₃)], ( 3 ), again with a pendant olefin arm; the products of experiments aiming at coordinating it to the Mo atom eluded isolation. I thus does not seem suitable for the synthesis of complexes with imido/olefin or imido/allyl ligands. However, products 1 – 3 , (two of which ( 1 , 3 ) were also characterised by single crystal X‐ray diffraction) are nevertheless interesting, e.g., with respect to the grafting of molybdenum complexes on the surfaces of solid supports to obtain heterogeneous oxidation catalysts.     

Reaction of 1,1,1-trichloroethane or carbon tetrachloride with allyl chloride,initiated by the Fe(CO)5-isopropanol system

Conclusions The reaction of CCl₃CH₃ and CCl₄ with allyl chloride in the presence of Fe(CO)₅ and isopropanol yields a mixture of products, the main component of which is the adduct RCCl₂CH₂CHClCH₂Cl (R=Cl, CH₃). The RCCl₂CH₂CH= CH₂ were also isolated, which represent the fragmentation product of the intermediately formed radical and its adduct with the telogen, namely RCCl₂CH₂CHClCH₂CCl₂R.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2004–2008, September, 1973.     

New tetra- and pentacoordinate nickel(I) complexes

Summary The reduction of nickel(II) halides with NaBH₄ in ethanol has been studied in the presence of various tertiary phosphines and arsines. Complexes of the type XNiL₃ have been isolated in this way when X = Cl, Br, I and L = PPh₃, AsPh₃, no reaction being observed when L = PEt₃, PBu₃ and Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂.The reaction of XNiL₃ with CO gas at room temperature produces pentacoordinate carbonyl complexes XNi(CO)₂L₂ when L is triphenylphosphine. The lack of stability prevents the isolation of similar complexes when L is trip henylarsine.Structural data obtained by i.r. spectroscopy and susceptibility measurements as well as chemical behaviour of the new complexes are described.     

The catalytic reactions of triethyl- and triethoxy-silane with unsaturated sulphides

The hydrosilylation of mono- and di-alkenyl sulphides of the type RS(CH₂)_nCH=CH₂ (R = C₂H₅, CH₂=CH, CH₂=CHCH₂, C₃H₇, n = 0, 1 and 4) by triethyl- and triethoxy-silane, catalyzed by H₂PtCl₆·6 H₂O, (Ph₃P)₃RhCl and (PhCN)₂PdCl₂·Ph₃P, has been studied. The addition of hydrosilane to the double bond of alkenyl sulphide leads to a mixture of two isomeric monoadducts. The hydrosilane can cleave the C---S bond of the initial sulphides giving the corresponding derivatives of thiosilanes, X₃SiS(CH₂)_nCH=CH₂ (X = C₂H₅, C₂H₅O). Hydrosilylation of alkenyl sulphides is accompanied by some side reactions such as dehydrocondensation, reduction and polymerization. The effect of the catalyst nature, the structure of hydrosilane and alkenyl sulphide on the reaction route has been investigated.     

Synthesis of novel organic oligomers containing Si?H bonds

Several organic oligomers (M_w = 10³–10⁴ order) containing Si?H bonds of the general formula 1 have been successfully synthesized by platinum-catalyzed partial hydrosilylation reaction of an allyloxy (or an allyl carbonate) end-blocked linear organic oligomer 2 with 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, [CH₃(H)SiO]₄ ( 3 ) (hereafter called hydrocyclotetrasiloxane). ¹H-NMR spectroscopy confirmed the introduction of hydrocyclotetrasiloxane moiety into the oligomers through Si? C linkage by hydrosilylation reaction. ¹³C-NMR analysis revealed that the cyclic structure of the starting hydrocyclotetrasiloxane 3 was retained intact in product 1 . As the precursor for 1 , allyloxy (or allyl carbonate) end-blocked oligomers 2 could be prepared from hydroxyl-terminated oligomers 4 . The storage stability of product 1 was significantly influenced by the platinum catalyst still remaining in it. The poor stability was improved by decreasing the amount of the platinum catalyst and/or by adding coordinating compounds. As a result, an excellent stability of product 1 was obtained. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of fluorosilicone having highly fluorinated alkyl side chains based on the hydrosilylation of fluorinated olefins with polyhydromethylsiloxane

Hydrosilylation of fluorinated olefins with polyhydromethylsiloxane (PHMS) in the presence of a platinum catalyst was investigated to synthesize fluorosilicone having highly fluorinated alkyl side chains (R_f; C_nF_2n+1? ). The hydrosilylation of 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10‐heptadecafluoro‐1‐decene (C₈F₁₇CH?CH₂) ( 1 ) with poly(dimethylsiloxane‐co‐hydromethylsiloxane) {(CH₃)₃SiO[? (H)CH₃SiO? ]₈[? (CH₃)₂ SiO? ]₁₈Si(CH₃)₃} ( 4 ) converted the hydrogen bonded to silicons into the 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10‐heptadecafluorodecyl group or fluorine bonded to silicons in the ratio of about 52:48, and the formation of the byproduct C₇F₁₅CF?CHCH₃ ( 8 ) was observed. The hydrosilylation of 7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,14‐heptadecafluoro‐4‐oxa‐1‐tetradecene (C₈F₁₇CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH?CH₂) ( 2 ) with 4 converted the hydrogen bonded to silicons into the 7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,14‐heptadecafluoro‐4‐oxa‐tetradocyl group bonded to silicons, but an excess amount of 2 was required to complete the reaction because the isomerization of 2 occurred in part to form C₈F₁₇CH₂CH₂OCH?CHCH₃ ( 9 ). The hydrosilylation of 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9, 10,10,11,11,11‐heptadecafluoro‐1‐undecene (C₈F₁₇CH₂CH?CH₂) ( 3 ) with 4 converted the hydrogen bonded to silicons into the 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11‐heptadecafluoroundecyl group bonded to silicons. This type of fluorinated olefin was successfully applied to the hydrosilylation with other PHMS's that involved a homopolymer of PHMS and a cyclic PHMS. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study of Karstedt's Catalyst for Hydrosilylation of a Wide Variety of Functionalized Alkenes with Triethoxysilane and Trimethoxysilane

The hydrosilylation is one of the most important methods for the synthesis of organosilicon compounds. Karstedt's catalyst [Pt_n (H₂C =CHSiMe₂OSiMe₂CH =CH₂ )_m ] is a kind of platinum catalyst which is widely used in the hydrosilylation. In this paper, we studied the catalytic activity of Karstedt's catalyst for the hydrogenation of olefins and especially aminated alkenes with trimethoxysilane and triethoxysilane, and demonstrated the excellent performance in terms of the yield and selectivity.     

An unusual reaction product from a 1,3-diborolene and tetracarbonylnickel. Structure of a bis(allyl)nickel complex

The bis(allyl)nickel complex (η³-3-vinyl-2,4,5,6-tetraethyl-1-oxa-2,6-diboracyclohexenyl)(η³-2,3,4,5,6-pentaethyl-1-oxa-2,6-diboracyclohexenyl)nickel(IV) is formed by initial insertion of CO from Ni(CO)₄ into the five-membered 1,3-diborolene I, to give a six-membered ring. Subsequent exchange of the CHCH₃ group of I for the oxygen atom of the inserted CO and migration of a hydrogen atom from the

group of one ring to that of the other results in formation of the bis[1-oxa-2,6-diboracyclohexenyl]nickel, IV, having one vinyl and nine ethyl substituents. An X-ray structural analysis of IV shows the non-planarity of the C₃B₂O rings; the boron and oxygen atoms lie 0.4 and 0.7 Å, respectively, away from the best plane through the allyl carbon atoms. IV crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with a = 9.065(2), b = 16.264(3), c = 10.187(2) Å, β = 104.28(1)°, and Z = 2.     

Practical Stannylation of Allyl Acetates Catalyzed by Nickel with Bu3SnOMe

A practical and scalable nickel‐catalyzed allylic stannylation of allyl acetates with Bu₃SnOMe is described. A variety of acyclic and cyclic allyl acetates, even with base‐sensitive moieties, undergoes the stannylation by using NiBr₂/4,4′‐di‐tert‐butylbipyridine (dtbpy)/Mn catalyst system to afford highly functionalized allyl stannanes with excellent regioselectivity and yields. Furthermore, the scope of protocol is also extended by the reaction of propargyl acetates, giving rise to propargyl or allenyl stannanes. Additionally, a unique diastereoselectivity using the nickel catalyst different from the palladium was demonstrated for the stannylation of cyclic allyl acetates. In the reaction, inexpensive and stable nickel complexes, abundant reductant (Mn), and atom‐economical stannyl source were used.     

Vinyl polymerization of norbornene by nickel(II) complexes bearing β‐diketiminate ligands

Norbornene polymerizations were carried out using nickel(II) bromide complexes CH{C(R)NAr}₂NiBr ( 1 , R = CH₃, Ar = 2, 6 ? ⁱPr₂C₆H₃; 2 , R = CH₃, Ar = 2, 6‐Me₂C₆H₃; 3 , R = CF₃, Ar = 2, 6 ? ⁱPr₂C₆H₃; 4 , R = CF₃, Ar = 2, 6‐Me₂C₆H₃) in the presence of methylaluminoxane. Compound 3 is the most active norbornene polymerization catalyst of all the nickel complexes tested. The activity of theses catalysts increases with increases in steric bulk of the substituents on the aryl rings. The electronic nature of the ligand backbone also affects the activity. The resulting polynorbornenes are vinyl type by IR and NMR analyses. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of poly(phosphonosiloxane) and its cyclic monomer via hydrosilylation and phosphonylation of vinylbenzyl chloride

Phosphonylation of polysiloxane and cyclosiloxane oligomers is described. Hydrosilylation of vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) with a poly(methylhydrosiloxane), or its cyclic monomer, followed by phosphonylation with triethyl phosphite leads to the production of stable phosphonosiloxanes that are characterized by  Si C and  C P bonds. The polymer, which is a liquid with a glass transition temperature of −38.3 °C, is soluble in alcohols and an alcohol and water mixture. The phosphonylated siloxanes dissolve and chelate uranyl nitrate and transition metal salts. The hydrosilylation of VBC yields α and β isomers:  Si CH₂ CH₂ and  Si CH(CH₃); the ratio between these two depends upon the type of solvent and the reaction conversion. A kinetic study of the hydrosilylation reaction of VBC suggests a second order in respect to the reactants. The reaction rate is dependent upon the catalyst concentration and temperature. Hydrosilylation of vinylbenzyl phosphonate could not be accomplished with the platinum (complex) catalyst; this is attributed to the presence of phosphoryl groups that are strong electron donors. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The hydrosilylation of propylene

The reactions of separate and competitive hydrosilylation of propylene with HSiCl₃, MeSiHCl₂, Me₂SiHCl, and MePh₂SiH in the presence of the Speier catalyst (SC) with different additives and a catalyst obtained from SC and propylene were studied. A mutual influence of the hydrosilanes in the competitive reactions was found. The influence of various additives to SC on the process was considered. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Study of allylic rearrangement in (μ-H)Os3(μ-O=CNRCH2CH=CH2)(CO)10 (R=H or CH3) clusters

The migration of the double bond in the allylcarboxamide ligands of (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CN RCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀ (R=H (1) or CH₃ (2)), (μ-D)Os₃(μ-O=CNDCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀, and (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CNHCD₂CH=CH₂)(CO)₁₀ clusters was studied by¹H,²H, and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Neither μ-D nor ND groups in the deuterated complexes are directly involved in prototropic processes of allylic rearrangement. Initially, the deuterium atom of the CD₂ group migrates to the ψ-carbon atom of the allyl fragment to form the −CD=CH-CH₂D propenyl moiety, in which the deuterium and hydrogen atoms are gradually redistributed between the ψ-and β-carbon atoms. The triosmium cluster complexes containing the bridging carboxamide ligands O=CNRR' catalyze the allylic rearrangement ofN-allylacetamide. Based on the data obtained, the probable scheme of the allylic rearrangements in clusters1 and2 was proposed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
