Metal-Free Catalytic Reductive Cleavage of Enol Ethers

In contrast to the well-known reductive cleavage of the alkyl-O bond, the cleavage of the alkenyl-O bond is much more challenging especially using metal-free approaches. Unexpectedly, alkenyl-O bonds were reductively cleaved when enol ethers were reacted with Et3SiH and a catalytic amount of B(C6F5)3. Supposedly, this reaction is the result of a B(C6F5)3-catalyzed tandem hydrosilylation reaction and a silicon-assisted β-elimination. A mechanism for this cleavage reaction is proposed based on experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Alcoholysis Equilibria of Triethylalkoxysilanes Catalyzed by Iodine or Iodine Monobromide

The equilibrium constants K of alcoholysis of triethylalkoxysilanes were determined at 20 degC and 40 degC.Iodine monobromide was used to promote the reactions associated with the tertiary alkoxyl groups, while the other reactions proceeded in the presence of iodine.The K values of the reaction systems with ethoxyl or propoxyl-primary, secondary, and tertiary alkoxyl pairs were 1 or above, about 0.5, and about 0.05, respectively.These values reflect the extent of the binding abilities of the alkoxyl groups to silicon, which is in the expected order of primary>secondary>tertiary alkoxyl groups.A mechanism is postulated for the reaction which involves participation by the iodine or iodine monobromide.
