  • Publication number: 20180155271
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods for silylating aromatic organic substrates, and associated chemical systems, said methods comprising or consisting essentially of contacting the aromatic organic substrate with a mixture of (a) at least one organosilane and (b) at least one strong base, under conditions sufficient to silylate the aromatic substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180057514
    Abstract: The present invention describes chemical systems and methods for silylating aromatic organic substrates, said system or method comprising or consisting essentially of a mixture of (a) at least one organosilane and (b) at least one strong base, the definition of strong base now also including hydroxide, especially KOH, said system being preferably, but not necessarily substantially free of a transition-metal compound, and said methods comprising contacting a quantity of the organic substrate with a mixture of (a) at least one organosilane and (b) at least one strong base, under conditions sufficient to silylate the aromatic substrate.

  • Publication number: 20160347776
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a mild, efficient, and general direct C(sp2)-H bond silylation of terminal olefins. Various embodiments includes methods, each method comprising or consisting essentially of contacting at least one organic substrate comprising a terminal olefinic C—H bond, with a mixture of at least one organosilane, organosilane, or mixture thereof and an alkali metal alkoxide or alkali metal hydroxide, such that the contacting results in the formation of a silylated olefinic product. The systems associated with these methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140155666
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of forming olefins, especially linear alpha olefins from fatty acids or anhydrides, each method comprising: contacting an amount of precursor carboxylic acid anhydride with a palladium catalyst comprising a bidentate bis-phosphine ligand in a reaction mixture so as to form an olefin in a product with the concomittant formation and removal of CO and water from the reaction mixture, either directly or indirectly, wherein the reaction mixture is maintained with a sub-stoichiometric excess of a sacrificial carboxylic acid anhydride, an organic acid, or both, said sub-stoichiometric excess being relative to the amount of the precursor carboxylic acid anhydride. The precursor carboxylic acid anhydride may be added to the reaction mixture directly or formed in situ by the reaction between at least one precursor carboxylic acid with a stoichiometric amount of the sacrificial acid anhydride.
