Reaction of germabenzenylpotassium with TBDMSCl: Unusual trimerization of germabenzene skeletons

Abstract

The reaction of 2-t-Bu-germabenzenylpotassium with Me₂(t-Bu)SiCl (TBDMSCl) resulted in the coupling among two TBDMS-substituted germabenzenes and the germabenzenylpotassium. The structure of the product was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Its formation mechanism was proposed with the help of theoretical calculations.     

Selective Formation of Alkoxychlorosilanes and Organotrialkoxysilane with Four Different Substituents by Intermolecular Exchange Reaction

Alkoxychlorosilanes are scientifically and industrially important toward preparing silicone and silica as well as preparation of siloxane‐based nanomaterials by stepwise reactions of Si?OR (R=alkyl) and Si?Cl groups. Intermolecular exchange of alkoxy and chloro groups between alkoxysilanes and chlorosilanes (functional group exchange reaction) provides an efficient and environmentally benign route to alkoxychlorosilanes. BiCl₃ as a Lewis acid catalyst can promote the functional group exchange reactions more efficiently than conventional acid catalysts. Higher reactivity has been observed for chlorosilanes with smaller numbers of Si?CH₃ groups and for alkoxysilanes with larger numbers of Si?CH₃ groups. The reaction mechanism is proposed and selective syntheses of alkoxychlorosilanes are demonstrated. These findings also enable us to synthesize an organotrialkoxysilane with four different substituents.     

Synthesis,characterization and self‐assembly of well‐defined linear heptablock quaterpolymers

Two well‐defined heptablock quaterpolymers of the ABCDCBA type [Α: polystyrene (PS), B: poly(butadiene) with ～90% 1,4‐microstructure (PB_1,4), C: poly(isoprene) with ～55% 3,4‐microstructure (PI_3,4) and D: poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)] were synthesized by combining anionic polymerization high vacuum techniques and hydrosilylation/chlorosilane chemistry. All intermediates and final products were characterized by size exclusion chromatography, membrane osmometry, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to further verify the chemical modification reaction of the difunctional PDMS. The self‐assembly in bulk of these novel heptablock quarterpolymers, studied by transmission electron microscopy and small angle X‐ray scattering, revealed 3‐phase 4‐layer alternating lamellae morphology of PS, PB_1,4, and mixed PI_3,4/PDMS domains. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to further confirm the miscibility of PI_3,4 and PDMS blocks. It is the first time that PDMS is the central segment in such multiblock polymers (≥3 chemically different blocks). © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Photoreactivity and photopolymerization of silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes in the presence of terpyridine initiators: unprecedented cleavage of both iron-cyclopentadienyl bonds in the presence of chlorosilanes

The photopolymerisation of sila[1]ferrocenophane [Fe(eta-C5H4)2SiMe2] (3) with 4,4',4'-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2'-terpyridine (tBu3terpy) as initiator has been explored. High-molecular-weight polyferrocenylsilane (PFS) [{Fe(eta-C5H4)2SiMe2}n] (5) was formed in high yield when a stoichiometric amount of tBu3terpy was used at 5 degrees C. Photopolymerisation of ferrocenophane 3 at higher temperatures gave PFS 5 in lower yield and with a reduced molecular weight as a result of a slower propagation rate. Remarkably, when Me3SiCl was added as a capping agent before photopolymerisation, subsequent photolysis of the reaction mixture resulted in the unprecedented cleavage of both iron-Cp bonds in ferrocenophane 3: iron(II) complex [Fe(tBu3terpy)2Cl2] (7Cl) was formed and the silane fragment (C5H4SiMe3)2SiMe2 (8) was released. The iron-Cp bond cleavage reaction also proceeded in ambient light, although longer reaction times were required. In addition, the unexpected cleavage chemistry in the presence of Me3SiCl was found to be applicable to other photoactive ferrocenes such as benzoylferrocene. For benzoylferrocene and ferrocenophane 3, the presence of metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) character in their low-energy transitions in the visible region probably facilitates photolytic iron-Cp bond cleavage, but this reactivity is suppressed when the strength of the iron-Cp bond is increased by the presence of electron-donating substituents on the cyclopentadienyl rings.     

Transition metal catalyzed carbon-silicon bond forming reactions using chlorosilanes promoted by Grignard reagents

New catalytic C--Si bond-forming reactions using chlorosilanes are described. These reactions proceed efficiently under mild conditions by the combined use of Grignard reagents and transition metal catalysts, such as Ti, Zr, Ni, and Pd. It is proposed that ate complex intermediates formed by the reaction of transition metals with Grignard reagents play important roles as the active catalytic species. The present study demonstrates the practical use of chlorosilanes in transition metal catalyzed silylation reactions providing convenient methods for allyl- or vinylsilane synthesis. The reaction pathways of these transformations as well as the scope and limitations are discussed.     

Towards Visible-Light Photocatalytic Reduction of Hypercoordinated Silicon Species

Nowadays, the quest of new radical precursors based on heteroatom complexes occupies an increasingly prominent position in contemporary research. Herein, we investigated the behavior and the limitations of hexa- or pentacoordinated organochlorosilanes and related pentacoordinated silyliums as new families of complexes for the generation of radicals under photocatalytic reductive conditions. Particularly, treatment of chlorophenylbis[N,S-pyridine-2-thiolato(−)]silicon(IV) or the related silylium derivative with the fac-Ir(ppy)₃ (5 mol-%)/NEt₃ (1.5 equiv.) system under blue LEDs irradiation generates a thiopyridyl radical which can participate in the formation of a carbon−sulfur bond by reaction with an allylsulfone. Computational studies supported this experimental finding, and particularly by showing that homolytic fragmentation of C−Ts bond is favored over the fragmentation of thiopyridyl radical.

Polysilsesquioxane containing tributylstannyl groups as intermediary derivative for organofunctionalization

Poly(phenylsilsesquioxane) containing tributylstannyl groups (TBPSQ) was a useful intermediate for the synthesis of organofunctionalized polysilsesquioxane ( 2 ). The reaction of TBPSQ and monochlorosilane ( 1 ), which possessed an organofunctional group, proceeded under mild and neutral conditions to give 2 with the elimination of tributylstannylchloride. The combined use of the different chlorosilanes 1 enabled the ready preparation of multifunctionalized polysilsesquioxanes 2 . The number‐average molecular weights and dispersions of 2 were almost the same as those of starting TBPSQ. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 286–292, 2002
