A formal (4 + 1)-cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes and Et2SiH2 to afford 3,4-disubstituted silolanes is reported. The reaction sequence commences with the known B(C6F5)3-catalyzed alkene hydrosilylation with dihydrosilanes. Cleavage of the remaining Si-H bond in the hydrosilylation product assisted by B(C6F5)3 leads to formation of a cyclopropane-stabilized silylium ion. The activated cyclopropane ring is then opened by the in situ-generated borohydride accompanied by ring closure to the silolane. The diastereoselectivity is rationalized by a mechanistic model.
B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Vinylcyclopropanes

A hydrosilylation of vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) catalyzed by the strong boron Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 is reported. For the majority of VCPs, little or no ring opening of the cyclopropyl unit is observed. Conversely, for VCPs with bulky R groups, such as ortho-substituted aryl rings or branched alkyl residues, ring opening is the exclusive reaction pathway. This finding is explained by the thwarted hydride delivery to a sterically shielded, β-silicon-stabilized cyclopropylcarbinyl cation intermediate.
RhI-catalyzed benzo/[7+1] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl-benzocyclobutenes and CO by merging thermal and metal-catalyzed C-C bond cleavages

A Rh-catalyzed benzo/[7+1] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl-benzocyclobutenes (CP-BCBs) and CO to benzocyclooctenones has been developed. In this reaction, CP-BCB acts as a benzo/7-C synthon and the reaction involves two C-C bond cleavages: a thermal electrocyclic ring-opening of the four-membered ring in CP-BCB and a Rh-catalyzed C-C cleavage of the cyclopropane ring.
