Mild and practical method for the silylation of alcohols using hydrosilanes and disilanes promoted by TBAF catalyst

The use of silicon-based tethers for the Pauson-Khand reaction

“…The first reaction used a neat mixture of the silane and alcohol with the addition of a catalytic amount of Wilkinson's catalyst. [30] A test reaction using this procedure was carried out to couple allyldi iso propylsilane and propargyl alcohol, but the formation of the silyl ether did not occur and the starting materials were recovered in quantitative amounts.…”

Metal-Free Ammonium Iodide Catalyzed Oxidative Dehydrocoupling of Silanes with Alcohols

“…During the last decade, some elegant examples have been reported of catalytic dehydrogenative silylations in the presence of catalysts based on ruthenium, 3 rhenium, 4 iridium, 5 indium, 6 palladium, 7 copper, 8 boron, 9 N-heterocyclic carbenes, 10 alkali bases, 11 or others. 12 Mechanistic studies have shown that a highly active catalyst is generally necessary to convert the silane at a convenient rate. Although the only byproduct of the reaction is molecular hydrogen (Scheme 1, a), most of the reactions suffer from one or more disadvantages, such as the need for expensive catalysts, poor functional-group tolerance, low yields, or the need for rigorously anaerobic and water-free conditions.…”
