Since the application of the lighter congener of rhenium, namely man- ganese, has been increasing lately in hydrosilylation [23,24], we report here the evolution of rhenium in this catalytic transformation. 2. Hydrosilylation of C=O, C=N, C≡N and NO2 Bonds 2.1. Hydrosilylation of Carbonyl Derivatives The first rhenium-catalyzed hydrosilylation was described in 2003 by Toste et al. (Scheme1a). This seminal contribution represents the first example of a hydrosilylation catalyst with a high-valent metal bearing two terminal oxo ligands, reversing the traditional use of metal-oxo complexes in catalysis. Indeed, the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ke- tones was promoted by the readily available iododioxo(bistriphenylphosphine)rhenium(V) complex [(PPh3)2Re(O)2I] (C1)[21,22]. The scope of this reaction included aromatic or aliphatic ketones and aldehydes with a good tolerance of functional groups (amino, nitro, halo, ester, cyano, cyclopropyl and alkene groups remained untouched). This air and moisture tolerant reaction provides silyl-protected alcohols in a straightforward reduction- protection protocol as bulky hydrosilanes were used (HSiMe2Ph, HSiEt3, HSiMe2Ph and HSitBuMe2). A detailed mechanism, supported by experimental evidence, was proposed by the same group [21,25] and confirmed by a computational study by Wu et al. in 2006 [26] (Scheme1b). The first step involves the formal [2 + 2] addition of silane to the Re=O bond in C1 to produce metal hydride I-1, which was isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Alkoxy-metal intermediate I-3 is produced by the addition of rhenium hydride Molecules 2021, 26, x to the carbonyl group. Transfer of the silyl group to the alkoxy ligand, formally a3 retroof 15-[2 + 2] reaction, forms the silyl ether product and regenerates the dioxo catalyst C1. SchemeScheme 1.
