Highly efficient catalytic hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide by an N-heterocyclic carbene copper catalyst

Abstract: The N-heterocyclic carbene-copper alkoxide complex [(IPr)Cu(OtBu)] acts as a highly efficient catalyst for the hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide with a hydrosilane. The desired product, silyl formate could be isolated in multigram quantity under solvent free conditions. A copper formate catalyst intermediate was successfully isolated and structurally characterized, thus offering important insight into the mechanistic details.

“…A plausible mechanism was proposed involving the formation of a hydride species. The CO 2 insertion promotes the formation of a copper formate complex, which by reaction with the silane releases the hydrosilylated product [105]. [108].…”

“…S21 †). The variation of solvent relates to an increase in turnover frequencies (TOFs), determined from the time taken to consume the hydrosilane at 80°C, of 3.3 h −1 for C 6 D 6 to 40 h −1 for d 7 -DMF. The increase in rate is, in part, due to the increased solubility of CO 2 in the more polar solvent; indeed, a reaction carried out in CD 3 CN under 2 bar of CO 2 shows complete hydrosilane depletion within 1.5 h (Fig.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] In contrast, only a handful of examples of silver-catalyzed hydrogenation and hydrosilylation are known. [15][16][17][18][19][20] For example, AgOTf has been shown to catalyze the hydrosilylation of aryl aldehydes in the presence of Me 2 PhSiH and PEt 3 .…”
