We report that a Lewis acidic silane, Me2SiHCl, can mediate the direct cross-coupling of a wide range of carbonyl compounds with alcohols to form dialkyl ethers. The reaction is operationally simple, tolerates a range of polar functional groups, can be utilized to make sterically hindered ethers, and is extendable to sulfur and nitrogen nucleo­philes.

AbstractThe palladium-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of organohalides and organoborons is a reliable method for carbon–carbon bond formation. This reaction involves a base-mediated transmetalation process, but the presence of a base also promotes competitive protodeborylation. Herein, we established a Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction via Lewis acid-mediated transmetalation of an organopalladium(II) intermediate with organoborons. Experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that the controlled release of the transmetalation-active intermediate enables base-independent transmetalation under heating conditions and enhances the applicable scope of this process. This system enables us to avoid the addition of a traditional base and, thus, renders substrates with base-sensitive moieties available. Results from this research further expand the overall utility of cross-coupling chemistry.

Olefin–olefin metathesis has led to important advances in diverse fields of research, including synthetic chemistry, materials science, and chemical biology. The corresponding carbonyl–olefin metathesis also enables direct carbon–carbon bond formation from readily available precursors, however, currently available synthetic procedures are significantly less advanced. This Synpacts article provides an overview of recent achievements in the field of Lewis acid mediated and Lewis acid catalyzed carbonyl–olefin metathesis reactions.1 Lewis Acid Mediated Carbonyl–Olefin Metathesis2 Lewis Acid Catalyzed Carbonyl–Olefin Metathesis
