Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods for dehydrogenatively coupled hydrosilanes and alcohols, the methods comprising contacting an organic substrate having at least one organic alcohol moiety with a mixture of at least one hydrosilane and sodium and/or potassium hydroxide, the contacting resulting in the formation of a dehydrogenatively coupled silyl ether. The disclosure further described associated compositions and methods of using the formed products.
Claims20
A composition comprising (a) at least one hydrosilane;
- (b) sodium and/or potassium hydroxide;
- (c) an organic substrate having at least one organic alcohol moiety;
- and optionally (d) an aprotic polar solvent and/or (e) a silyl ether derived or derivable from the dehydrogenative coupling of the at least one hydrosilane and the at least one alcohol moiety, the composition being substantially devoid of crown ether, transition metal ions or complexes, alkoxides, hydrides, alkyl lithium reagents, or fluoride ion.
