Selective dehydrogenative coupling of di- and trihydrosilanes with alcohols catalyzed by PdCl2 or NiCl2 afforded alkoxyhydro- and dialkoxyhydrosilanes in good yield. Further treatment of the resulting alkoxyhydrosilanes with carbon tetrachloride or allyl bromide in the presence of the same catalyst led to the formation of alkoxychloro- and alkoxybromosilanes, respectively. Similar reactions of dialkoxyhydrosilanes with carbon tetrachloride afforded dialkoxychlorosilanes in good yield, although contamination of small amounts of trialkoxysilanes and alkoxydichlorosilanes was detected in the products. Selective substitution of the alkoxyhalosilanes with nucleophiles is also reported. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Various nucleophiles were reacted with the substrate di-n-hexyldichlorosilane as model reactions for the substitution of two geminal Si-CI bonds on polymer backbone repeat units. The reactants examined were chosen on the basis of steric bulk, electronic factors, and resulting stability of the product. Linear and branched alcohol nucleophiles used in conjunction with an amine proton acceptor produced disubstituted products in moderate yields, whereas bulkier reagents substituted only one silicon-chlorine bond. Due to their vastly increased nucleophilicity, alkyllithium reagents were found to have increased activity and were found to produce very high yields. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
