Hydroamination/hydrosilylation sequence catalyzed by titanium complexes.

Convenient, enantioselective hydrosilylation of imines in protic media catalyzed by a Zn-trianglamine complex.

Chiral hexamine macrocycle derived from trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) in a complex with diethylzinc efficiently catalyzes the asymmetric hydrosilylation of N-phosphorylated aryl-alkyl or aryl-aryl ketimines in protic media with enantiomeric excess of the product approaching 100%. The cyclic structure of the trianglamine ligand increases the enantioselectivity and/or the yield of the react...

Hydrogenation and Hydrosilylation of Nitrous Oxide Homogeneously Catalyzed by a Metal Complex

Due to its significant contribution to stratospheric ozone depletion and its potent greenhouse effect, nitrous oxide has stimulated much research interest regarding its reactivity modes and its transformations, which can lead to its abatement. We report the homogeneously catalyzed reaction of nitrous oxide (N2O) with H2. The reaction is catalyzed by a PNP pincer ruthenium complex, generating ef...

Effective fixation of CO2 by iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation.

Development of new chemical processes using CO2 as raw material has become a high priority for scientists. Utilisation of CO2 as feedstock would have the advantages of being naturally occurring, abundant, and inexpensive. However, due to the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of CO2 its activation represents a challenge for chemists. In this context, the low reactivity of CO2 can be overcome b...
