Abstract

The development of an effective catalytic system for the dehydrogenative coupling of hydrosilanes with alcohols remains an ongoing challenge, particularly for alcohol protection applications. In this study, we report the development and optimization of a highly efficient gold catalyst supported on fibrillated cellulose modified with citric acid. The catalyst exhibited remarkable catalytic activity under mild conditions with 0.01–0.05 mol% of Au loading, facilitating the formation of silyl ethers with excellent yield. Notably, our catalytic system overcomes the need for excess alcohol, typically required in such reactions, making it highly practical for alcohol protection applications. This work represents a significant advancement in the field of dehydrosilylation catalysis, offering a sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly approach for the synthesis of functional silanol-based materials and alcohol protection applications. The scope of substrates and the utility of the catalyst have been thoroughly studied.

Key words

14 Dehydrosilylation of Alcohols; General Procedure A reaction tube equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar was charged with Au:F-CAC (0.05 atom%), PhSiHMe₂ (2.0 mmol), the appropriate alcohol 3 (0.5 mmol), and toluene (3 mL), and the mixture was stirred for the appropriate time under an ambient atmosphere. The catalyst was then removed by filtration and washed with Et₂O (3 × 5 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel) or preparative TLC to give the silyl ether 4.
