Carbsi

Technology

• An innovative catalytic method for the general preparation of organosilicon compounds based on novel silylating reagents (tertButyl-substituted SilylDiazenes – tBSiD).
  • Extensive choice of silyl groups
    ex: Si = SiMe3, SiMe2 tBu, SiHiPr2, SiMe2(OEt), SiMe(OtBu)2, Si(OMe) 3
  • Thermally-stable
  •  Simple 2-step synthesis
• Advantages:
  • High generality (> 140 examples)
  • Inexpensive catalysts (e.g. CH3ONa or tBuOK)
  • Ambient conditions (RT)
  • Short reaction times (< 1h)
  • Volatile byproducts (incl. N2)
