In Journal of the American Chemical Society (Vol. 144, Issue 23, pp. 10608–10614). American Chemical Society (ACS). https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2c037391520-5126 (electrónico)0002-7863https://hdl.handle.net/10272/21350The direct functionalization of Si−H bonds by the nitrene insertion methodology is described. A copper(I) complex bearing a trispyrazolylborate ligand catalyzes the transfer of a nitrene group from PhINTs to the Si−H bond of silanes, disilanes, and siloxanes, leading to the exclusive formation of Si−NH moieties in the first example of this transformation. The process tolerates other functionalities in the substrate such as several C−H bonds and alkyne and alkene moieties directly bonded to the silicon center. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a mechanistic interpretation consisting of a Si−H homolytic cleavage and subsequent rebound to the Si-centered radical.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/CatalystsFunctionalizationGroup 14 compoundsHydrocarbonsInorganic compoundsjournal articleopen access
