Abstract
The catalytic double hydrometalation such as hydrosilylation and hydroborylation of organonitriles has attracted considerable attention because the obtained products are widely used in organic synthesis and it is thought to be one of the effective methods for reduction of organonitriles. However, the examples of these reactions are quite limited to date. This paper summarizes the development of selective double hydrosilylation, double hydroborylation, and dihydroborylsilylation of organonitriles, including their reaction mechanisms and the role of the metal species in the catalytic cycle.
Highlights
The catalytic hydrosilylation and hydroborylation of the carbon-nitrogen triple bond (C≡N bond) in organonitriles is becoming important in the synthetic chemistry
Examples of catalytic double hydrometalation of the carbon-nitrogen triple bond (C≡N bond) in organonitriles are limited: one example of Fe [12], Pt [17], Ir [18], and Ru [19], two examples of Co [20,21], four examples of Rh [22,23,24,25], and main group elements and fluoride [13,26,27,28] for double hydrosilylation and one example of Mg [29], Co [30], and Ni [31], and two examples of Ru [32,33] and Mo [34,35] for double hydroborylation have been reported to date
Based on the results mentioned above, we proposed a tentative catalytic cycle for the double hydrosilylation, double hydroborylation, and dihydroborylsilylation of organonitriles in the
