In the presence of NiCl2(PPh3)2 as catalyst, p-methoxycarbonylphenyl mesylate (5) and tosylate (6) react with lithium arylborates 4 (Ar = 2-furyl, Ph, p-Me-Ph; p-Me-Ph) at room temperature to afford the coupling products in high yields. Similarly, mesylates 9–11 coupled with these borates 4 efficiently.
A rhodium-catalyzed silylation reaction of carbon-cyano bonds using disilane has been developed. Under these catalytic conditions, carbon-cyano bonds in aryl, alkenyl, allyl, and benzyl cyanides bearing a variety of functional groups can be silylated. The observation of an enamine side product in the silylation of benzyl cyanides and related stoichiometric studies indicate that the carbon-cyano bond cleavage proceeds through the deinsertion of silyl isocyanide from eta(2)-iminoacyl complex B. Knowledge gained from these studies has led to the development of a new intramolecular biaryl coupling reaction in which aryl cyanides and aryl chlorides are cross-coupled.
AN ELECTROREDUCTIVE SYNTHESIS OF ALLYLSILANES AND BENZYLSILANES
The electrochemical reduction of benzyl and allyl halides carried out in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane afforded the corresponding benzylsilanes and allylsilanes in satisfactory yields.
