Abstract
Hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones with dimethylphenylsilane was catalyzed by perrhenic acid, HReO4, to give silylated ethers in good yields. These hydrosilylation reactions appear to be radical processes, since they were inhibited in the presence of 5,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrole-N-oxide (DMPO) and Ph2NH, two well-known radical scavengers. Perrhenic acid also catalyzes the dehydrogenative silylation of alcohols in neat conditions at 25 °C. It is selective for the silylation of hydroxyl groups in the presence of alkenes and alkyl halides (RCl).
