Applications of iron pincer complexes in hydrosilylation reactions

Abstract

Iron pincer complexes are efficient in catalyzing various organic reactions with excellent selectivity and functional group tolerance at moderate reaction conditions. This review focuses on the applications of iron pincer complexes in hydrosilylation reactions.

Research on inorganic activators of dibromo Co-terpyridine complex precatalyst for hydrosilylation

“…Recently, due to their abundance, complex catalysts made from base metals, particularly first row transition metals, have been actively studied as alternatives to Pt-complex catalysts. 4,5 Since their success in the early 2010s, 3,6,7 many first row transition metal-complex catalysts, such as Mn, 5,8 Fe, 3,7,9–14 Co, 10,11,15,16 Ni, 17 and Cu complexes, 18,19 have been used in the hydrosilylation of alkenes (olefins), alkynes, ketones, and other similar compounds. The improvement of first row transition metal-complex catalysts has achieved high turnover numbers as well as high regio- and stereoselectivity.…”

Nascent developments in main group element-catalyzed hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation of alkenes and alkynes

“…Prior to his postdoctoral studies at Kyoto University (2019-2021) under the guidance of Prof. Keiji Maruoka, he worked as a research scientist decade. 19,20,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] Consistently, all of them have been dedicated to TM complexes catalyzing the hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes. The absence of comprehensive reviews on the main group element-catalyzed hydrosilylation of unsaturated hydrocarbons has triggered us to study recent achievements in this area.…”

Catalytic hydrosilylation using an immobilized Co-terpyridine complex activated by inorganic salts and its application in a flow reactor

“…Recent interest in this research field has brought about the development of base metal complex catalysts. 2–6 There are many examples of hydrosilylation catalysts based on Mn, 4,7 Fe, 3,5,8–10 Co, 2,3,9–13 Ni, 3,14 or Cu, 15 which show high turnover numbers, as well as good stereoselectivity, and chemoselectivity. Most of them have a pincer type ligand.…”
