Selective Si-C(sp(3) ) Bond Cleavage in (Aminomethyl)silanes by Carbanionic Nucleophiles and Its Stereochemical Course.

Angewandte Chemie 2017 June 27
Selective cleavage of a silicon-carbon bond in tetraorganosilanes is still a great challenge. A new type of Si-C(sp(3) ) bond cleavage in bench-stable (aminomethyl)silanes with common organolithium reagents as nucleophiles has now been identified. Suitable leaving groups are benzyl, allyl, and phenylthiomethyl groups. A β-donor function and polar solvents are essential for the reaction. Simple switching between α-deprotonation and substitution is possible through slight modifications of the reaction conditions. The stereochemical course of the reaction was elucidated by using a silicon-chiral benzylsilane. The new transformation proceeds stereospecifically with inversion of configuration and can be used for the targeted synthesis of enantiomerically pure tetraorganosilanes, which are otherwise difficult to access. Quantum chemical calculations provided insight into the mechanism of the new substitution.
