Versatile dehydrogenative alcohol silylation catalyzed by Cu(I)-phosphine complex.
[reaction: see text] Cu(I) complexes of xanthane-based diphosphines were versatile catalysts for dehydrogenative alcohol silylation, exhibiting high activity and broad substrate scope. Highly selective silylation of 1-decanol over 2-decanol is possible even with a silylating reagent of small steric demand such as HSiMe(2)Ph or HSiEt(3).
