Paragraph 0055-0058, (2020/12/29)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing ether by catalyzing alcohol through trimethyl halosilane. According to the method, under the conditions of air or nitrogen atmosphere, no solvent andno transition metal catalyst, an alcohol compound is directly used as a raw material, trimethyl halosilane is used as a catalyst, and symmetric or asymmetric ether is synthesized through one-step selective dehydration reaction. According to the method, the use of strong acid, strong base and organic primary halides with high toxicity, instability and higher price is avoided, the synthesis steps are shortened, the synthesis efficiency is improved, the reaction has good selectivity, and a target ether product can be obtained preferentially.

We report herein the possibility to perform the hydrosilylation of carbonyls using actinide complexes as catalysts. While complexes of the uranyl ion [UO2]2+ have been poorly considered in catalysis, we show the potentialities of the Lewis acid [UO2(OTf)2] (1) in the catalytic hydrosilylation of a series of aldehydes. [UO2(OTf)2] proved to be a very active catalyst affording distinct reduction products depending on the nature of the reductant. With Et3SiH, a number of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes are reduced into symmetric ethers, while iPr3SiH yielded silylated alcohols. Studies of the reaction mechanism led to the isolation of aldehyde/uranyl complexes, [UO2(OTf)2(4-Me2N-PhCHO)3], [UO2(μ-κ2-OTf)2(PhCHO)]n, and [UO2(μ-κ2-OTf)(κ1-OTf)(PhCHO)2]2, which have been fully characterized by NMR, IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The silver hexafluoroantimonate/N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)-catalyzed synthesis of α-alkylated aryl ketones with a tertiary carbon center from internal alkynes and benzyl alcohols is reported. This reaction proceeds via the etherification of benzyl alcohols with an in situ generated benzyl bromide, formed by the reaction of benzyl alcohol with a catalytic amount of NBS and AgSbF6. Ag-catalyzed C-O cleavage of the ether leads to a tolyl radical, which undergoes addition to the alkyne, ultimately leading to the α-alkylated aryl ketone products.
