    ABSTRACT

    > Redistribution reactions of a variety of hydrogen-substituted siloxanesare catalyzed by various transition metal comlexes of irdium and

    rhodium. The products arise from breaking and rmkIng of Si-C, SI-H,

    and Si-0 bonds. Siloxanes not possessing a Si-H bond are Inert under

    the conditions studied. The most favored reaction pathway appears to

    preferentially scrable the groups directly attached to the silicon bear-

    * ing the hydrogen atom. A new cyclo-iridiadisiloxane, L(CO)(H)--

    ir(i7 Nh fR) (L - Ph?', R a Ne&iO) is reported. This compound exists

    in three isomeric forms-as a consequence of the spatial arrangements

    of the R and He groups on the ring. --7 _

    that yc1j.-metalladisiloxanes, 1, were catalysts for the dlsproportlon4tlon

    A mechanism was proposedIbIc in which the strain In the four mnsead ring

    assisted the scission of an SI-O bond In 1 to give reactive, coordinated

    silylene and silanone Intemediates. The crystal structure of la lent support

    to the a . g t that the Si-O bond Is weakened In the mtallacycle.3

    The proposed mchanism dealt specifically with the Irdium complex, la,

    but could be extended to som of the other colexes with minor modifications.

    Some consequences of the proposed mchanism are that: (1) only those siloxanes

    possessing the 1,3-dihydrido functionality would undergo facile redistribution

  • since only the SI-H bond reacts readily with the low vlent mital cowpllei .

    and the 1.3-orrangeent is necessary to form the four-embrtd ring. (2)

    only M0/H exchange (see below) should occur, and (3) the oligomrs are

    formed seqantally, i.e., 2[*[, - OE 1Eb2SI; E['* + VOE' - V02 E * +

    me 2 S11H; EITE* EC2EO - V'D3 * ft2SIH2, etC.The generel features of the Ir-catalynd reaction seemed to fit all tese

    requirements, at least at low conversons.,1c After longer reaction times,

    various secondary products were observed. I order to further dlaracterin

    the redistribution reaction and the effects of using different metals and

    differMt shlames, the preset work was dertaken. Te results show that

    the reaction Is much more colex than originally thoupe and that the originall)

    proposed ietallacycle myhanis., if It Is operstive at all, cannot be the only

    mchanKism Wer the groups on silicon are redistributed.

    catalyst/min., for EE' and E'E', respectively. The rate for E'E' is thus

    about 16 times that for E'. Whether or not the relatively modest rate

    increase for E'E' is due to the operation of the special, metallacyclic

    rachanism is questionable.

    It was also observed that the following catalyst precursors all gave the

    sam turnover nubers after the initial abrupt drop: L3RhCl, (acac)Rh(ethylene)2

    and Rh2 (CO) 4 C12 . This suggests that the final catalytic species are Identical.

    The redistribution products of pentamnthyldislloxane (EE') are shown

    in Table It. The mjor product Is E'E which most likely comes from an

    exchange of trimthylsiloxy for mthyl on EE' (eq. 7). The unsymmetric

    2 r ififb 2 N - He3SiOS1IH(H)OSlN3 + NO SiH (7)

    S (EE') (ED'E)

    mature of CE' also reveals that SiO/SiO exchanges must occur, e.g., eq. 8.

    2 IOsOSlNs, '. (b35s1)2o + (We 2Sl)20 (8)

    (E') (EE) (E'E')

    The 'U disproportiomates further. In fact, all of the "symmetric"

    ollgmers, 'DE1 In Table II most probably result from SiO/SiO exchanges.

  • I

    Table III presents the redistribution products of E'DE'. One of the

    mijor products, E'D2 E, is again most probably formed as a result of the

    SO1SiO exchange shown in the Table. The other major product is the cyclic

    etrinmer, D3 D. If this cyclic forms from an internal exchange (cf. eq. 5),

    hee Its precursor is E'DD'DE', the expected first turnover product result-

    $no from the SiO/Me exchange shown in the Table. If this scheme is correct,

    then the ET'DE must cyclize nearly as fast as it is formed since its

    ,on,,tration Is extremely low for a Ist turnover product.

    £DD'E reacts with 12(C0)ClIr to give a mixture of the metallacycles

    If the redistribution reaction of ED'D'E were to proceed via the pre-

    viously proposed metallacycle mechanism, then the primary reaction products

    would be given by eq. 9 (R = Me3SiO). The oligomeric siloxanes should

    (n+I)ED'D'E + ED'(-T-)nD'E + n RMeSiH 2 (9)

    E

    have pendant Me3SiO groups along the polymer backbone. The RteSiH 2 should

    disproportionate very rapidly to give products, e.g., MeSiH 3(g) and ED'E via

    R/H (R = Me3SiO) exchanges. However, the products listed in Table IV are

    best rationalized by assuming that both SiO bonds adjacent to the hydrogen-

    bearing silicon are labilized, not Just the central Si-O bond as would be

    the case if a metallacycle were necessary to cause labilization.

    In other words, EDjE, upon its interaction with the catalyst, supplies

    E, EDi , and ED' groups for exchange with 5i0, Si-e, and Si-H bonds.

    The predicted "Ist turnover" products are then given by the following

    equations:

  • -13-

    SiO/SiO exchanges:

    ED'E - [E, D'E, ED'] - E'E + EDE + EDE (10)2 23 4

    E. (Si6H3 )

    (Si5H2)

    + ET'O'E (12)ID2'E (Si7H4)

    Of the predicted possibilities, EO'E is definitely observed; and Si5H,

    S 5H2, two Si6H2 isomers, and an S17H3 isomer are observed. These may possibly

    correspond to the underlined species in eq. 10-12. The remaining species can

    all be rationalized as "2nd turnover" products resulting from E/H, ED'/H,

    ED/H. etc. exchanges on the "lst turnover" products. It is interesting to note

  • -14-

    that the Si H isomer of possible structure, ED'[T(E)]20'E, is a "2nd

    turnover" product according to this scheme, but has the second highest

    concentration of any product. This same phenomenon occurs in the Rh-

    catalyzed redistribution of E'E' wherein the "2nd turnover" product, E'D2E'

    has a higher concentration than the supposed "1st turnover" product, E'DE'

    (see Fig. 1). In any event, the metal complex catalyzed redistribution

    of EDgE leads to a very complex mixture, the composition of which is con-

    sistent with the notion that SiO and Sife bonds adjacent to Si-H bonds are

    labilized and undergo exchange reactions.

    Finally, we note that the metal species which are formed in the presence

    of Si-H bonds are sufficiently active to activate the C-H bond of benzene

    to subs-tutteby Si. 10 As shown in Tables I and II, various phenyl sub-

    st'tuted siloxanes and silanes are produced along with the rearrangement

    products. That the benzene solvent is the source of these phenyl groups in

    the case of iridium catalysts was demonstrated by using C6D6 as the solvent.

    The resulting phenyl-containing products are d5-substituted and their

    fragmentation patterns are entirely consistent with their being ds-phenyl

    groups.5

    SUMARY

    Siloxanes having at least one Si-H bond undergo redistribution reactions

    in the presence of certain transition metal complexes, especially those of

    Pt, Pd, Ir and Rh. The observed products are formed as a result of scrambling

    all the groups attached to the silicon bearing the hydrogen atom; and, to a

    much lesser extent, as a result of more common SiO/SiO exchanges as observed

    with acid or base catalyzed rearrangements.lbll It appears that with the

    transition metal catalysts, SiO/Me and SiO/H exchanges are faster than

    SiO/SiO exchanges, so that these redistributions compliment the classical

    acid or base catalyzed redistributions. Synthetically useful rates and

    selectivities have been achieved recently by supporting the iridium complexes

    on high surface area oxides.12

    The nature of the metal-silyl species involved in the catalytic cycle

    is unclear, although several possibilities have been discussed in some

    detail.lb Likely intermediates are mono- and dinuclear silylene complexes

    and complexed silanones. The remarkable stability of appropriately substituted

    silylenes has been demonstrated recently,13 and silanones are commonly

    postulated as intermediates. 4 . . . . .
