Silyl formates as hydrosilane surrogates for the transfer hydrosilylation of ketones

An energetically and atom economic transfer hydrosilylation of ketones employing silyl formates as hydrosilanes surrogates under mild conditions is presented. A total of 24 examples of ketones have been successfully converted to their corresponding silyl ethers with 61-99% yield in the presence of a PNHP-based ruthenium catalyst and silyl formate reagent. The crucial role of the ligand for the transformation is demonstrated.

Synthesis of some silyl derivatives of graphene oxide

In this work, we synthesized some organosilicon derivatives of graphene oxide (GO) containing various groups such as trimethyl, triethyl, dimethyl-tert-Bu, and dimethyl-vinyl. Also, some reactions were done in the presence of DES, as catalyst. This green catalyst improved the yields of reactions successfully. Synthesis of methoxy, and ethoxy vinyl silyl ethers of GO were done. In this work, hybrid organic-inorganic was done. In the next step, network polymers of GO with styrene, and methacrylic acid (MAA) were done. Incorporation of organosilicon groups were modified GO properties for example thermal stability or it.

Nickel-Catalyzed Ipso-Borylation of Silyloxyarenes via C–O Bond Activation

A mild method to convert silyloxyarenes to pinacol boronic esters using nickel catalysis is described. In contrast to other borylation protocols of relatively inert C–O bonds, the method is competent in activating the carbon-oxygen bond of silyloxyarenes in isolated aromatic systems lacking a directing group. The catalytic functionalization of benzyl silyl ethers was also achieved under these conditions. Orthogonal reactivity of silyloxyarenes vs other electrophiles was demonstrated in the case of several cross-coupling reactions wherein the unaffected silyloxarene could be functionalized subsequently.

Silylation and characterization of of piroxicam with some silylating reagents

In this work, we synthesized some organosilicon derivatives of piroxicam. 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.

α-C–H difluoroalkylation of alkyl sulfoxides via intermolecular Pummerer reaction

A simple and practical intermolecular Pummerer reaction using difluoroenol silyl ethers as nucleophiles is described. The protocol allows for highly efficient α-difluoroalkylation of a wide spectrum of alkyl sulfoxides.
