Iridium-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Silylation of Azulenes Based on Regioselective C–H Bond Activation
摘要:
Use of an iridium catalyst allowed the efficient dehydrogenative functionalization of C-H bonds of azulenes with the production of hydrogen as the sole byproduct. The reaction occurred with excellent chemo- and regioselectivities to provide 2-silylazulenes even without any directing groups. Effective conjugation through the 2-position of the azulene ring was demonstrated by the unique stimuli-responsiveness against an acidbase reaction.

The conversion of inexpensive, saturated hydrocarbon feedstocks into value-added speciality chemicals using regiospecific, catalytic functionalization of alkanes is a major goal of organometallic chemistry. Linear alkylsilanes represent one such speciality chemicalâthey have a wide range of applications, including release coatings, silicone rubbers and moulding products. Direct, selective, functionalization of alkanes at primary CâH bonds is difficult and, to date, methods for catalytically converting alkanes into linear alkylsilanes are unknown. Here, we report a well-defined, dual-catalyst system for one-pot, two-step alkane silylations. The system comprises a pincer-ligated Ir catalyst for alkane dehydrogenation and an Fe catalyst that effects a subsequent tandem olefin isomerizationâhydrosilylation. This method exhibits exclusive regioselectivity for the production of terminally functionalized alkylsilanes. This dual-catalyst strategy has also been applied to regioselective alkane borylations to form linear alkylboronate esters. The selective conversion of abundant and inexpensive alkane feedstocks into value-added speciality chemicals is a significant and challenging goal, and methods for catalytically converting alkanes into useful linear alkylsilanes are unknown, to date. Now, a strategy combining alkane dehydrogenation with regioselective olefin isomerizationâhydrosilylation to produce linear alkylsilanes is described.

Chemo- and regioselectivity are often difficult to control during olefin hydrosilylation catalyzed by d- and f-block metal complexes. The cationichydride of calcium [CaH]+ stabilized by an NNNNmacrocycle was found to catalyze the regioselective hydrosilylation of aliphatic olefins to give anti-Markovnikov products, while aryl-substituted olefins were hydrosilyated with Markovnikov regioselectivity

Bis(triphenylsilyl) and dibenzyl ytterbium(II) complexes supported by the macrocyclic polyamine ligand Me4TACD (1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) reacted with H2 to give the cationic ytterbiumhydrides [(Me4TACD)2Yb2(μ2-H)(2+n)](2−n)+ (n = 0, 1). The hydrides catalyzed the H2/D2 isotope exchange as well as hydrogenation and hydrosilylation of 1-hexene.
