Phenylsilane as an effective desulfinylation reagent
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reduction using phenylsilane in a KOH-catalyzed system was applied successfully to the conversion of sulfinyl-substituted cyclopropylcarboxylates into the corresponding alcohols. The presence of sulfinyl substituents in the α-position to the carboxylate group caused a desulfinylation product formation with full regio- and stereoselectivity, instead of a carbonyl group reduction. Investigations performed on different α-sulfinylcarbonyl compounds revealed that phenylsilane treatment constitutes a regiospecific method for the desulfinylation of a-sulfinylesters; for corresponding ketones the reaction course depends on the character of the carbonyl group.

Phenylsilane as a safe, versatile alternative to hydrogen for the synthesis of actinide hydrides.
The thorium and uranium dihydride dimer complexes [(C5Me5)2An(H)(μ-H)]2 (An = Th, U) have been easily prepared using phenylsilane, which is an efficient and safer alternative to hydrogen gas. The synthetic utility of this new hydriding method has been demonstrated by the preparation of a variety of organometallic complexes, including, for the first time, (C5Me5)2U(SMe)2, (C5Me5)2Th(C4Ph4), (C5M...
