Silylation of silanols with vinylsilanes catalyzed by a ruthenium complex
摘要:
A new ruthenium complex-catalyzed O-silylation of silanols with vinylsilanes leading to siloxane bond formation with the evolution of ethylene is described. A maximum conversion of silanol is reached using an excess of vinylsilane to also yield the product of the homo-coupling of the latter. Under the optimum conditions, when vinylsilane with at least one ethoxy substituent is used, the reaction gives exclusively unsymmetrical siloxanes. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
A new selective approach to unsymmetrical siloxanes and germasiloxanes via O-metalation of silanols with 2-methylallylsilanes and 2-methylallylgermanes
A scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalyzed O-metalation of silanols with 2-methylallylsilanes and 2-methylallylgermanes leading to siloxane or germasiloxane bond formation under mild conditions with evolution of isobutylene is described.
