Usage

General Description

N-Octylsilane is a chemical compound featuring an eight-carbon alkyl chain attached to a silicon atom. It is a colorless, flammable liquid that is used as a coupling agent and surface modifier in various industrial applications. N-octylsilane is also utilized in the production of silicone compounds, and as a coating and adhesion promoter in the manufacture of plastics, rubbers, and adhesives. It can also function as a hydrophobic agent, providing water repellent properties to surfaces and materials. Additionally, it is important to handle n-octylsilane with caution, as it poses flammability and health hazards, and should be stored and used in a well-ventilated area with appropriate safety measures in place.

PROCESS FOR THE STEPWISE SYNTHESIS OF SILAHYDROCARBONS

The invention relates to a process for the stepwise synthesis of silahydrocarbons bearing up to four different organyl substituents at the silicon atom, wherein the process includes at least one step a) of producing a bifunctional hydridochlorosilane by a redistribution reaction, selective chlorination of hydridosilanes with an ether/HCI reagent, or by selective chlorination of hydridosilanes with SiCI4, at least one step b) of submitting a bifunctional hydridochloromonosilane to a hydrosilylation reaction, at least one step c) of hydrogenation of a chloromonosilane, and a step d) in which a silahydrocarbon compound is obtained in a hydrosilylation reaction.

Iridium Pincer Catalysts for Silane Dehydrocoupling: Ligand Effects on Selectivity and Activity

Catalytic reactions of bisphosphinite pincer-ligated iridium compounds p-XR(POCOP)IrHCl (POCOP) [2,6-(R2PO)2C6H3, R = iPr, X = H (1); R = tBu, X = COOMe (2); = H (3); = NMe2 (4)] with primary and secondary silanes have been performed. Complex 1 is primarily a silane redistribution precatalyst, but dehydrocoupling catalysis is observed for sterically demanding silane substrates or with aggressive removal of H2. The bulkier compounds (2-4) are silane dehydrocoupling precatalysts that also undergo competitive redistribution with less hindered substrates. Products generated from reactions utilizing 2-4 include low molecular weight oligosilanes with varying degrees of redistribution present or disilanes when employing more sterically demanding silane substrates. Selectivity for redistribution versus dehydrocoupling depends on the steric and electronic environment of the metal but can also be affected by reaction conditions. (Chemical Equation Presented).
