REFERENCES 67 1. INTRODUCTION Reactions of organosilicon compounds catalyzed by nucleophiles have been under extensive study for more than twenty-five years. In this field two excellent reviews were published 11,21. Recently a monograph dedicated to hypervalent organosilicon compounds was also published /3/. There are also two reviews on 45 Vol. 28, No. 2, 2005 Activation of Silicon Bonds by Fluoride Ion in the Organic Synthesis in the New Millenium: A Review fluoride mediated reactions of fluorinated silanes /4/. Two recent reviews are dedicated to fluoride ion activation of silicon bonds in the presence of transition metal catalysts 151. Beside this, a review on recent advances in the synthesis and transformation of heterocycles mediated by fluoride ion activated organosilicon compounds was published in 2002 161. Fluoride ion as activator of silicon bonds is widely described in these works. The present work was carried out in continuation of the review published by Corriu et al. in 1993 111 and our review published in 2001 111. Our aim is to describe the modern methodologies in the synthesis of different classes of compounds (for example, alkenes, alkynes, and alcohols) mediated by silanes activated + by fluoride ion. The influence of different sources of fluoride ion (B114NF, Bu4N [Ph3SnF2]\ KF, CsF, tris(dimethylamino)sulfur (trimethylsilyl)difluoride (TASF), tetrabutylammonium triphenyldifluorosilicate (TBAT), diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST), Ph4Bi-F, CdF2, CuF2) on the chemical process will be discussed. A new mechanism of fluoride ion action, based on quantum chemical calculations, is presented. The fluoride ion mediated reactions of organosilicon compounds containing Si —X bonds (X = H, C, N, Ο, P), and their use in organic synthesis published from January 2001 to December 2004, have been reviewed. The advances in the transformations of heterocycles mediated by fluoride ion activated organosilicon compounds are not included in this review and will be published separately. 2. HYDROSILANES Diastereoselectivity in the reduction of α-substituted ketones 1 to alcohols 2 with polymethylhydrosiloxane in the presence of Bu4NF was investigated /8/. The experiments showed high syn- selectivity for α-alkoxy-, α-acyloxy- and α-dialkylamino-substituted ketones (syn: anti = 73: 23 up to 100:0). Reduction of α-monoalkylamino ketone proceeded in anti-selective manner (Scheme 1).

It has been found that the optimal amount of cesium fluoride is 5 mol% to oxime and hydrosilane. An increase in the amount of fluoride ion diminishes the yield of desired silylated oxime O-ethers. Silylated ketoximes were isolated up to 78 % yields as main products /10/.

The first reaction step is the interaction of F-ion with the oxime group hydrogen atom. The calculations have shown that the reaction proceeds without any activation barrier and leads to formation of oxime anion and complex HF...Cs+...18-crown-6. The oxime anion and dimethylphenylsilane form complex 7. The positively charged complex [HF...Cs... 18-crown-6]+ serves as a source of proton. The next step of the reaction is interaction of complex 7 with [HF...Cs... 18-crown-6]+. After formation of the hydrogen molecule the approaching of oxime anion and silicon cation takes place. The reaction is completed with formation of the desired product 6. 47 Vol. 28, No. 2, 2005 Activation of Silicon Bonds by Fluoride Ion in the Organic Synthesis in the New Millenium: A Review Scheme 4 The catalytic system Me3SiN3 / solid CsF / 18-crown-6, as the most active, was used in the synthesis of unsymmetric siloxanes 9 from hydrosilanes 8 (molar ratio hydrosilane : Me3SiN3 : CsF : 18-crown-6 = 1:3: 0.1 : 0.1, Scheme 5). The siloxanes 9 were obtained in 45-70% yields. This method was also used in the synthesis of trisiloxane (yield 33%) from diphenylsilane and 6 equivalents of Me3SiN3 /ll/.

The first step is the interaction of complex [HO*— 2(18-crown-6)Cs+-F"—H+] 10 with hydrosilanes 8. The next step is addition of hydroxyl anion to positively charged silicon and formation of silanol molecule. The following interaction between silanol and fluoride ion gives HF molecule and silanol anion 11. The next reaction step is interaction between anion 11 and azidotrimethylsilane, leading formation of the complex of azidotrimethylsilane with silanol anion. This complex reacts with the proton from 2(18-crown-6)Cs+-F"—H+ species. Addition of the proton to the nitrogen bonded to the silicon atom proceeds. The result of this process is the cleavage of Si-N bond, and formation of HN3 and unsymmetrical disiloxane 9. 48 Edgars Abele Main Group Metal Chemistry 3. Si-C BOND 3.1.

Due to the some properties of organosilicon compounds, including increased lipophilicity and thermal stabilization and prodrug for drugs, some silyl ethers of this drug were synthesized and characterized..Increasing of the lipophilic properties of this drug can be very important in the rate of absorption and its effectiveness. Graphic abstract: Keywords: Piroxicam, Silyl ether, Organosilicon, Drug delivery, Lipophilic 1.Introduction: Piroxicam is a painkiller and its main use is to reduce or stop pain. In osteoarthritis, this drug has anti-inflammatory effects. This drug is used to treat many diseases such as headache and toothache, leg pain and piroxicam reduces the production of prostaglandins by controlling cyclooxygenase, thus showing its effectiveness in reducing and eliminating pain. It is also used to relieve joint, bone and muscle pain. It is even used to control gout and menstrual cramps. It binds to a large amount of protein and is metabolized in the liver and then excreted in the urine.

  • Organosilicon Compounds for Organic Synthesis
    Organosilicon Compounds For Organic Synthesis Introduction Recently, the use of organosilicon compounds in organic chemistry has become an increasingly important field. As such, Shin-Etsu Chemical has been a key supplier for many silylating agents currently in use while also searching for and developing new and useful organosilicon compounds. This booklet introduces several newly developed silylating agents and organosilicon compounds, including references for their application. SILYLATING AGENTS General Definition Silylating agents are reagents that are used to replace the active hydrogen of a chemical species with a silyl group (-Si RR'R"). For example,functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, -NH2, -CONH2, and -SH are converted to -OSiRR'R", -COOSiRR'R", -NHSiRR'R", CONHSiRR'R", and -SSiRR'R",respectively. Purpose In general, the replacement of active hydrogens significantly decreases the reactivity of a functional group and dramatically reduces polar interactions such as hydrogen bonding. These replacements can be carried out for many specific reasons, but typically fall under one or more of the following objectives: (1) Protecting a reactive functional group during one or more chemical reactions (2) Improving the selectivity of a chemical reaction (3) Improving stability during distillation (4) Improving solubility in polar and/or non-polar solvents (5) Increasing volatility by reducing or eliminating hydrogen-bonding How To Select? The most common silylating agents used on an industrial scale are listed in Table I. Reactivity, type of by-product, price, and availability are often important factors that must be considered when the synthetic process is developed. Another important factor to be considered, the stability of the resultant silylated functional group, is largely determined by the combined steric bulk of the alkyl groups attached to silicon (R, R', and R").

Abstract A method for the light-mediated fluoroalkylation of silyl enol ethers with (bromodifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane followed by a reduction of the primary products with sodium borohydride is described. An 18 W, 375 nm LED was used as the light source. The reaction is performed in the presence of a gold photocatalyst, which effects the generation of a (trimethylsilyl)difluoromethyl radical via cleavage of the carbon–bromine bond. Findings Fluorinated silicon reagents have found widespread use for the to Lewis bases and accordingly it was used as a precursor of introduction of fluorinated fragments [1-5]. Typically, these difluorocarbene, which can react with enol ethers [19,20] reagents work under strongly basic conditions required to acti- (Scheme 1). We showed that this silane could be involved in the vate inert C–Si bonds with the generation of carbanionic radical chain hydrofluoroalkylation of electron-deficient species. On the other hand, radical reactions offer different syn- alkenes, using a boron hydride as a source of hydrogen [21].

  • Bonding and Structure of Disilenes and Related Unsaturated Group-14 Element Compounds
    No. 5] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 88 (2012) 167 Review Bonding and structure of disilenes and related unsaturated group-14 element compounds † By Mitsuo KIRA*1, (Communicated by Hitosi NOZAKI, M.J.A.) Abstract: Structure and properties of silicon-silicon doubly bonded compounds (disilenes) are shown to be remarkably different from those of alkenes. X-Ray structural analysis of a series of acyclic tetrakis(trialkylsilyl)disilenes has shown that the geometry of these disilenes is quite flexible, and planar, twist or trans-bent depending on the bulkiness and shape of the trialkylsilyl substituents. Thermal and photochemical interconversion between a cyclotetrasilene and the corresponding bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane occurs via either 1,2-silyl migration or a concerted electrocyclic reaction depending on the ring substituents without intermediacy of the corresponding tetrasila-1,3-diene. Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of a stable spiropentasiladiene have revealed a unique feature of the spiroconjugation in this system. Starting with a stable dialkylsilylene, a number of elaborated disilenes including trisilaallene and its germanium congeners are synthesized. Unlike carbon allenes, the trisilaallene has remarkably bent and fluxional geometry, suggesting the importance of the :-<* orbital mixing. 14-Electron three-coordinate disilene- palladium complexes are found to have much stronger :-complex character than related 16-electron tetracoordinate complexes.

In this thesis, a new catalytic method for the formation of acylated cyanohydrins and the development of a new class of chiral stannacyclohexane catalysts are described. A convenient and efficient conversion of aldehydes to acylated cyanohydrins is catalyzed by tri-n-butyltin cyanide and pyruvonitrile.

Soc. 2020, 142, 11691−11697 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Alkyl chlorides are bench-stable chemical feedstocks that remain among the most underutilized electrophile classes in transition metal catalysis. Overcoming intrinsic limitations of C(sp3)−Cl bond activation, we report the development of a novel organosilane reagent that can participate in chlorine atom abstraction under mild photocatalytic conditions. In particular, we describe the application of this mechanism to a dual nickel/photoredox catalytic protocol that enables the first cross-electrophile coupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides and aryl chlorides. Employing these low-toxicity, abundant, and commercially available organochloride building blocks, this methodology allows access to a broad array of highly functionalized C(sp2)−C(sp3) coupled adducts, including numerous drug analogues. ickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling has become a their implementation in nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile N well-accepted and powerful strategy for the rapid couplings.18 Within the realm of metal reductant-mediated assembly of C(sp3)-rich drug-like molecules, permitting nickel catalysis, strong C(sp3)−Cl bonds prevent the necessary convergent access to novel chemical space while introducing oxidative addition steps, while the accompanying
