Iridium‐ and Rhodium‐Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Silylations of C(sp³)H Bonds Adjacent to a Nitrogen Atom Using Hydrosilanes

Abstract

Now that is just silylated: In the presence of iridium or rhodium catalysts, C(sp3)H bonds adjacent to a nitrogen atom were silylated by the aid of a pyridine-directing group. In iridium catalysis, a hydrogen-trapping reagent such as norbornene or tert-butylethylene, which is usually required in late transition-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling reactions, was not required. In rhodium catalysis, however, 1 equivalent of COD (1,5-cyclooctadiene) was necessary to induce higher conversion.
