Significance

Functionalized vinylsilanes 3 were prepared by hydroacylation of dimethyldivinylsilane (2) with various aldehydes 1 in the presence of (Ph3P)3RhCl, 2-amino-3-picoline, and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (63-92% yield, 11 examples). Immobilization of 3 onto silica by using [IrCl(coe)2]2 and DMA˙HCl gave the corresponding functionalized silica compounds 4 with 0.58-1.04 mmol/g of loading (11 examples).

Comment

The silica-immobilization method {[IrCl(coe)2]2; DMA˙HCl} has been developed by the same authors (Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 4073). Surface modification of hydrophilic glass slides with vinylsilanes 3e-g gave the significantly hydro­phobic glass slides 9e-g as estimated from contact angle measurements.
