Abstract

Reported herein is a highly efficient intramolecular silylation of aromatic C–H bonds catalyzed by a pincer ruthenium complex, giving benzoxasiloles under relatively mild reaction conditions with broad substrate scope and low catalyst loadings. The silylation product can be further converted into a biaryl product by Pd-catalyzed Hiyama–Denmark cross-coupling reactions.

Key words

21 General Procedure for Silylation of (Hydrido)silyl Ethers 2 A 5 mL dried Schlenk tube was charged with 1b, (hydrido)silyl ether 2 (0.5 mmol), and hydrogen acceptor (TBE or COE, 1 equiv) under Ar atmosphere. Then the flask was sealed tightly with a Teflon plug and stirred at 80–120 °C for complete conversion. After that, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. Mesitylene (0.5 equiv, 0.25 mmol) was added as an internal standard, and the yield was determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The crude mixture was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, PE/EtOAc = 100:1 as eluent) to obtain the benzoxasilole product 3. Data for 3a are given here as an example. The general procedure was followed with Ru complex 1b (2.7 mg, 5.0 μmol), (hydrido)silyl ether 2a (97.2 mg, 0.5 mmol), and COE (65.0 μL, 0.5 mmol) at 80 °C for 24 h. The benzoxasilole product 3a was afforded as a colorless liquid (95.0 mg, 99% yield). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 7.56 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.43 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.32 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.25 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 1.58 (s, 6 H), 0.42 (s, 6 H). ¹³C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 158.0, 134.5, 130.8, 129.8, 126.9, 122.2, 83.5, 32.2, 1.4. These spectroscopic data correspond to reported data.^5d
22 It is noteworthy that tertiary (hydrido)silyl ethers bearing two diisopropyl on the silicon atom are unreactive under the Ru-catalyzed silylation conditions.

24 General Procedure for Hiyama-Denmark Coupling 3a with PhI In an Ar-filled glovebox, a 5 mL dried Schlenk tube was charged with Pd(OAc)₂ (3.4 mg, 15.0 μmol, 5 mol%), PPh₃ (8.6 mg, 33.0 μmol, 11.0 mol%), CH₃ONa (81.0 mg, 1.5 mmol), and p-xylene (1 mL). Then, benzoxasilole 3a (57.8 mg, 0.3 mmol) and PhI (0.60 mmol) were added. The tube was sealed tightly with a Teflon plug under Ar atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and subsequently heated at 80 °C for 12 h. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and MeOH (1.5 mL) and 10% NaOH (2 mL) were added under vigorous stirring at 50 °C for 48 h. The resulting solution was extracted with EtOAc and washed with brine (15 mL), dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. After filtration and evaporation of the solvent, the crude mixture was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc/PE = 1:50) to obtain the desired product 4a as a white solid (49.5 mg, 78%, m.p. 68–70 °C). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 7.67 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.38 (m, 6 H), 7.26 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.10 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 1.89 (s, 1 H), 1.49 (s, 6 H). ¹³C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 146.2, 143.9, 140.0, 132.2, 129.6, 127.9, 127.5, 127.2, 126.2, 125.9, 74.2, 32.7. Spectral data are in agreement with published data.²⁵
