Efficient O-Trimethylsilylation of Alcohols and Phenols with Trimethylsilyl Azide Catalyzed by Tetrabutylammonium Bromide under Neat Conditions
摘要:
A very efficient procedure for the trimethylsilylation of a wide variety of alcohols, including primary, allylic, benzylic, secondary, hindered secondary, tertiary, and phenols is reported. The reactions were carried out under neat conditions with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) and, when necessary, in the presence of a catalytic amount (20 mol %) of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) at 30 or 70 degreesC. Under catalytic conditions, the yields of the corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers were greater than 91%. This procedure also allows the selective protection of primary and secondary alcohols in the presence of tertiary ones.
Co2(CO)8-catalyzed reaction of aromatic aldehydes with hydrosilanes under carbon monoxide as 1 atm: Incorporation of CO into the carbonyl carbon atom of aldehydes
Co2(CO)8-catalyzed reaction of aromatic aldehydes with hydrosilanes under CO as 1 atm results in incorporation of CO into the carbonyl carbon atom of aldehydes to give arylethane-1,2-diol disilyl ethers as the main product. The reaction of aliphatic aldehydes gives similar products, only with low yields.
