<p>The deoxydehydration of carbohydrates represents a key target to leverage renewable biomass resources chemically. Using a vanadium(V)-based catalyst, we demonstrate that it is possible to directly deoxydehydrate <i>trans</i>-cyclic diol substrates. Accompanying mechanistic characterisation of this process by density functional calculations points to an energetically tractable route for deoxydehydration of cyclic <i>trans</i>-diol substrates involving stepwise cleavage of the diol C-O bonds <i>via</i> the triplet state; experimentally, this is supported by light dependence of the reaction. Calculations also indicate that cyclic <i>cis</i>-diols and a linear diol substrate can additionally proceed by a concerted singlet DODH mechanism. This work potentially opens a new and cost-effective way to efficiently convert carbohydrates of <i>trans</i>-diol stereochemistry into alkenes. </p>

Lithium-tert-butylmethylhydrazonide II, Me3C(Me)C=N-NHLi, reacts with F2Si[N(CHMe2)2]2 to give Me3C(Me)C=N-NH-SiF[N(CHMe2)2]2 1. The lithium salt of 1, Me3 C(Me)C=N- N(Li)SiF[N(CHMe2)2]2, 1a, prepared in the reaction of 1 with n-C4H9Li, is substituted with F2BN(SiMe3)2 forming Me3C(Me)C=N-NBFN(SiMe3)2SiF[N(CHMe2)2]2, 2. Experiments to synthesise the silaketazine, Me3C(Me)C=N-N=Si[N(CHMe2)2], III, via LiF-elimination from 1a lead to the intramolecular formation of an N-functional 1,2-diaza-3-silacyclopentene, H2C-C(CMe3)=N- NHSi[N(CHMe2)2]2, 3, which is a structural isomer of III. The NH unit of 3 can be lithiated with n-C4H9Li. The lithium salt reacts with F2BN(SiMe3)2 forming the substituted ring compound 4. The rearrangement of the silaketazine III to the ring compound 3 is described by density functional calculations predicting a three-step reaction mechanism correlated with the experimental data. The structures of 3 and 4 are discussed in detail.
