- DMF-activated chlorosilane chemistry: Molybdenum-catalyzed reactions of R3SiH, DMF and R′3SiCl to initially form R′3SiOSiR′3 and R3SiCl
-
The room temperature reactions between R3SiH (R3?=?Et3, PhMe2, Ph2Me) and R′3SiCl (R′3?=?Me3, PhMe2, Ph2Me), with an excess of dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of (Me3N)Mo(CO)5 as a catalyst, result in the initial formation of R3SiCl, R′3SiOSiR′3 and Me3N as detected by 29Si, 13C, 1H NMR spectroscopy and GC/MS. As the reaction proceeds, the more so if the reaction temperature is raised, mixed disiloxanes R3SiOSiR′3 and ultimately lesser amounts of R3SiOSiR3 may be detected. A mechanism involving the activation of chlorosilanes by the nucleophilic DMF is proposed to produce transient imminium siloxy ion pairs, [Me2N[dbnd]CHCl]+[R′3SiO]? ? [Me2N[dbnd]CH(OSiR′3)]+Cl? which react with R3SiH to form Me2NCH2OSiR′3 and R3SiCl. A secondary reaction of Me2NCH2OSiR′3 with R′3SiCl produces the symmetrical disiloxane R′3SiOSiR′3 and ClCH2NMe2. The final stage of the reaction is the reduction of ClCH2NMe2 by R3SiH, a reaction which is reported for the first time. The newly created chlorosilane R3SiCl can become involved in the initial DMF activation chemistry thereby forming the other disiloxanes observed as the reaction proceeds.

- (Me3N)Mo(CO)5-catalyzed reduction of DMF by disiloxane and disilane moieties: Fate of the silicon-containing fragments
-
The use of HSiMe2OSiMe2H (1) and various hydrodisilanes, R3SiSiMe2H (2; R = alkyl, aryl), as reductants for N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of (Me 3N)Mo(CO)5 as a catalyst led to the formation of a series of novel and structurally interesting siloxanes as well as trimethylamine. In the case of 1 the cyclic poly(dimethylsiloxanes) D4 and D6 are obtained, and for 2 the products are bis(disilyl) ethers, (R 3SiSiMe2)2O. Siloxymethylamine intermediates resulting from an initial hydrosilylation of DMF, (Me2NCH 2OSiMe2)2O (3) and R3SiSiMe 2OCH2NMe2 (4; R = Me, Ph), from the reactions of 1 and 2, respectively, can be observed and, in the case of 3, isolated and purified. In the presence of the respective starting silanes and the catalyst the intermediates readily react to form the appropriate siloxane materials and trimethylamine. Compound 3 was functionalized by reaction with R3ECl (E = Si, Ge, R = Me, Ph) to provide group 14 containing products (R 3EOSiMe2)2O (R = Me, E = Si (5a), Ge (6a); R = Ph, E = Si (5b), Ge (6b)). Reactions of Me3SiSiMe2OCH 2NMe2 (4a) with R3ECl produced Me 3SiSiMe2OER3 (R = Me, E = Si (7), R = Ph, E = Ge, 8). The crystal structure of (Ph3SiSiMe2)2O (9c) is reported and exhibits an Si-O-Si angle of 165 and the longest Si-Si bond length (2.376(2) A) for such bis(disilyl) ethers. The new (Ph 3EOSiMe2)2O derivatives 5b and 6b have been structurally characterized and exhibit distinct conformations about the central SiOSi fragment. In the case of the Ph3Si compound 5b the dihedral angle between the two end groups is 180 with completely staggered SiMe groups on the central Si atoms, whereas for the Ge congener it is 55.7 and the structure exhibits eclipsed SiMe groups. The distinction seems to be due to both intra- and intermolecular phenyl group π stacking in 6b stabilizing this formally higher energy conformation.
