Triisopropylsilane (TIPS)

Recent Literature


In a remote hydro-oxygenation of alkenes under palladium catalysis, both terminal and internal alkenes are suitable to yield the corresponding linear alcohols efficiently. A compatible SelectFluor/silane redox system plays an essential role for the excellent chemo- and regioselectivities. The reaction features a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility.

The merger of palladium catalysis with electrooxidation enables the hydrofluorination of aryl-substituted alkenes ranging from styrenes to more challenging α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives to the corresponding benzylic fluorides. This method can also be applied to the late-stage modification of pharmaceutical derivatives.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed remote hydrosulfonamidation (HSA) of terminal and internal alkenes with a N-fluoro-N-(fluorosulfonyl)-carbamate provides primary N-alkyl-N-(fluorosulfonyl)-carbamates. The generated N-alkyl products can be directly converted to N-alkyl sulfamides or amines via sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange reactions (SuFEx).
