- Mechanistic insights into grubbs-type ruthenium-complex-catalyzed intramolecular alkene hydrosilylation: Direct σ-bond metathesis in the initial stage of hydrosilylation
-
Grubbs-type ruthenium-complex-mediated intramolecular alkene hydrosilylation of alkenylsilyl ethers has been developed to provide cyclic silyl ethers with high regioselectivity. This non-metathetical use of such ruthenium complexes for alkene hydrosilylation via preferential Si-H bond activation over alkene activation is notable, where the competing alkene metathesis dimerization was not detected. In addition to the synthesis of organosilicon heterocycles from readily available olefins, this study provides fundamental mechanistic insights into the non-metathetical function of Grubbs-type ruthenium catalysts. In the initial stage of hydrosilylation within a ruthenium coordination sphere, evidence for activation of a ruthenium complex by direct σ-bond metathesis between Si-H and Ru-Cl via a four-centered transition state is presented. This study counters the traditionally accepted Chauvin-type mechanism, specifically the addition of R3Si-H across the π-bond of a Ru-benzylidene.

- Zinc oxide (ZnO) as a new, highly efficient, and reusable catalyst for acylation of alcohols, phenols and amines under solvent free conditions
-
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a highly efficient catalyst for the acylation of a variety of alcohols, phenols and amines with acid chlorides or acid anhydrides under solvent free conditions. Primary, secondary, tertiary, allylic and benzylic alcohols, diols and phenols with electron donating or withdrawing substituents can be easily acylated in good to excellent yield.

- Organotin-Mediated Monoacylation of Diols with Reversed Chemoselectivity: A Convenient Synthetic Method
-
The organotin-mediated monoesterification of unsymmetrical diols with reversed chemoselectivity has been explored to ascertain scope and limits of the method and to provide an easy and convenient synthetic procedure.The reaction has been performed on a set of substituted diols with some acylating agents usually employed as protecting groups.Two different procedures have been devised to obtain either the desired diol monoesters directly or the corresponding trialkylsilyl ethers as protected derivatives.The latter provides a convenient approach to the preparation of easily interconvertible diol monoesters.Also, the reaction has been optimized as a one-pot procedure, avoiding the isolation and purification of the stannylated intermediates.The reversed monoesterification method has been successfully applied to 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diols of primary-secondary, primary-tertiary, and secondary-tertiary types and to ether functions containing 1,2-diols.Within its limits, the described method represents the first direct one-pot monoesterification of diols at the most substituted site, allowing some remarkable achievements as (a) an almost regiospecific reversed monobenzoylation of some 1,2-diols, (b) the selective acylation of the tertiary hydroxyl of a primary-tertiary diol, and (c) a highly selective preparation of secondary pivalate of primary-secondary diols.
