Vinyl carbocations have been the subject of extensive experimental and theoretical studies over the past five decades. Despite this long history in chemistry, the utility of vinyl cations in chemical synthesis has been limited, with most reactivity studies focusing on solvolysis reactions or intramolecular processes. Here we report synthetic and mechanistic studies of vinyl cations generated through silylium-weakly coordinating anion catalysis. We find that these reactive intermediates undergo mild intermolecular carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, including carbon-hydrogen (C-H) insertion into unactivated sp3 C-H bonds and reductive Friedel-Crafts reactions with arenes. Moreover, we conducted computational studies of these alkane C-H functionalization reactions and discovered that they proceed through nonclassical, ambimodal transition structures. This reaction manifold provides a framework for the catalytic functionalization of hydrocarbons using simple ketone derivatives.

A simple and efficient heterogeneous palladium catalyst was prepared for aromatic ring hydrogenation. The catalyst was prepared by a reduction-deposition method and exhibited high activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of a variety of substituted aromatic compounds to the corresponding cyclohexane and cyclohexanol derivatives with up to 99% yields. The catalyst was characterized by BET, TEM, XRD, XPS and ICP. Meanwhile the reusability of the catalyst was investigated, and it can be reused for several runs without significant deactivation.
