Organosilanes as Radical-based Reducing Agents with Low Hydrogen Donating Abilities

Me3SiSi(H)Me2, Me3SiSiMe2Si(H)Me2, and (Me3Si)3SiSi(H)Me2 have been used as radical-based reducing agents for a variety of organic substrates.Rate constants for the reaction of primary alkyl radicals with these silanes have been measured over a range of temperature by using the neophyl rearrangement as a radical clock.Some kinetic data have also been obtained for phenyl substituted silanes.The experimental findings are complemented by ab initio MO studies, at different levels of theory, which predict the Si-H bond dissociation energies of PhSiH3, Ph2SiH2, and XSiH2SiH2-H, where X = H, Me and SiH3.The radical trapping abilities of these silanes and other common radical-based reducing agents are compared.
