    AbstractThe transition-metal-catalysed hydrosilylation reaction of alkenes is one of the most important catalytic reactions in the silicon industry. In this field, intensive studies have been thus far performed in the development of base-metal catalysts due to increased emphasis on environmental sustainability. However, one big drawback remains to be overcome in this field: the limited functional group compatibility of the currently available Pt hydrosilylation catalysts in the silicon industry. This is a serious issue in the production of trichloro(3-chloropropyl)silane, which is industrially synthesized on the order of several thousand tons per year as a key intermediate to access various silane coupling agents. In the present study, an efficient hydrosilylation reaction of allyl chloride with trichlorosilane is achieved using the Rh(I) catalyst [RhCl(dppbzF)]2 (dppbzF = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene) to selectively form trichloro(3-chloropropyl)silane. The catalyst enables drastically improved efficiency (turnover number, TON, 140,000) and selectivity (&gt;99%) to be achieved compared to conventional Pt catalysts.

  • Polypropylene-Based Nanocomposite with Enhanced Aging Stability by Surface Grafting of Silica Nanofillers with a Silane Coupling Agent Containing an Antioxidant
    Ryota Watanabe, Aki Sugahara, Hideaki Hagihara, Kei Sakamoto, Yumiko Nakajima, and Yuki Naganawa
    ACS Omega, eISSN: 24701343, Pages: 12431-12439, Published: 2 June 2020 American Chemical Society (ACS)
    Simultaneous improvement in the mechanical properties and lifetime of polymer nanocomposites is crucially significant to further extend the versatility of polymer materials and reduce environmental impact. In this study, we fabricated reinforced polypropylene (PP)-based nanocomposites with improved aging stability by the addition of surface-modified well-ordered silica nanospheres with a silane coupling agent (SCA) containing hindered phenol antioxidant as a filler. Uniform grafting of the SCA on the filler surface contributed to homogeneous dispersion of the filler into the matrix, leading to improved properties (e.g., stiffness and ductility) and uniform distribution of the antioxidant component into the entire nanocomposite by filler dispersion. The grafting of SCA also likely provides an inhibitory effect on antioxidant migration, which leads to loss of polymer stability during the aging process. This novel idea for the material design of PP-based nanocomposites, which simultaneously enhances their mechanical properties and lifetime, is promising for application in the fabrication of various types of polymer nanocomposites.

    Abstract Hydrosilylation of alkenes is an important reaction for the production of organosilicon compounds such as industrially important silicones and silane coupling agents. To synthesize highly sophisticated organosilicon materials, it is of great importance to develop novel hydrosilylation catalysts with good compatibility towards a wide range of functional groups. This review highlights the main advances made in this area. Efforts to develop Pt catalysis systems as well as environmentally benign base-metal catalyst systems have been collected with the aim of providing a comprehensive overview of the subject from the viewpoint of both academia and industry.

    Organic Letters, ISSN: 15237060, eISSN: 15237052, Pages: 9812-9817, Published: 20 December 2019 American Chemical Society (ACS)
    4,4'-Bipyridyl worked as an organocatalyst for the reduction of nitroarenes by bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B2nep2), followed by hydrolysis to give the corresponding anilines. This reduction proceeded under aerobic conditions without any prepurification of substrates and reagents. We found broad functional group tolerance and compatibility for O- and N-protecting groups under the reaction conditions. The key in this catalytic system was the addition of B2nep2 to 4,4'-bipyridyl to form N,N'-bis[(neopentylglycolato)boryl]-4,4'-bipyridinylidene as a deoxygenating reagent of nitroarenes.

    Abstract Reactions of allyl-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives with alkoxysilanes proceeded efficiently to furnish the corresponding hydrosilylated products in good to excellent yields using a ruthenium catalyst, [RuCl2(nbd)]n. A preliminary mechanistic study supported the pivotal role of the PEG moiety, which coordinated to the ruthenium atom during the reaction to achieve high reaction selectivity. This method may be applicable to the synthesis of various PEGs with a silyl terminus, which is useful as biocompatible and low toxic silane coupling agents. .

    Nickel‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions of chlorosilanes with organoaluminum reagents were developed. An electron‐rich Ni(0)/PCy3 complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the desired transformation. The reaction of dichlorosilanes 1 proceeded to give the corresponding monosubstituted products 2. Trichlorosilanes 4 underwent selective double substitution to furnish the corresponding monochlorosilanes 2. Overall, the selective synthesis of a series of alkylmonochlorosilanes 2 from di‐ and trichlorosilanes was achieved using the present catalytic systems.

    Organometallics, ISSN: 02767333, eISSN: 15206041, Pages: 888-893, Published: 25 February 2019 American Chemical Society (ACS)
    A cobalt dialkyl with an N-heterocyclic carbene [Co(CH2SiMe3)2(IPr)] (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazole-2-ylidene) underwent successive Si–H bond cleavage of hydrosilanes. The reaction paths were highly dependent on the bulkiness of the hydrosilanes, which led to the formation of various μ-silyl-bridged dicobalt complexes, [{Co(IPr)}2(μ-SiH2Hex)4], [{Co(IPr)}2(μ-SiH2Ph)3(H)3], and [{Co(IPr)}2(μ-SiHPh2)(μ-H)2].
