Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic chemical catalysis technology, specifically relating to a 2N type cobalt complex and its preparation method, and the silanization reaction of hydrogen-containing silanes with alcohols. Background Technology

[0002] Organosilicon ethers (Si-O bonds) are an important class of chemicals that play a vital role in the chemical industry because they are used in the production of adhesives, adhesion promoters, lubricants, waterproofing agents, etc. In addition, the dehydrogenation coupling of hydrosilanes with alcohols produces hydrogen as a byproduct, which has also led to increasing interest in using hydrosilanes as hydrogen storage materials.

[0003] The traditional method for synthesizing silyl ethers involves the alcoholysis of chlorosilanes. However, this method requires a large amount of base to neutralize the HCl gas produced during the reaction, thus necessitating a more environmentally friendly and sustainable approach. Therefore, hydrosilanes have replaced traditional chlorosilanes. From an atom economy perspective, dehydrogenation coupling is the most attractive route, forming H2 as the sole byproduct to generate silyl ethers. This process avoids the unnecessary generation of acids. These reactions are primarily driven by the formation of stable Si-O bonds, a chemically advantageous but kinetically slow method. Designing sustainable methods for synthesizing organosilanes largely requires the development of efficient catalysts that can operate under mild conditions. However, almost all methods for producing silyl ethers through dehydrogenation coupling require noble metal catalysts or strong base catalysis.

[0004] More importantly, the direct dehydrogenation coupling of triphenylsilanes, which are sterically hindered and have low activity, with alcohols remains a challenge. Existing non-noble metal catalytic systems (such as some iron catalysts) often suffer from one or more of the following drawbacks: high catalyst loading (>5 mol%), resulting in poor economic efficiency; narrow substrate universality, especially with a sharp drop in catalytic efficiency for sterically hindered secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, or long-chain aliphatic alcohols; harsh reaction conditions, requiring high temperatures (>150℃) or strong base additives; and poor chemoselectivity, easily leading to side reactions such as self-dehydrogenation polymerization of triphenylsilane, resulting in low yields of the target silane ether. Therefore, developing inexpensive, highly efficient, and universally applicable metal catalysts is essential for the dehydrogenation coupling reaction of silanes.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a 2N type cobalt complex and its preparation method, and a catalytic reaction of hydrogen-containing silanes with alcohols to prepare triphenylsilanes. The 2N type cobalt complex is inexpensive and has the advantages of high reactivity and good substrate universality in the dehydrogenation coupling reaction of triphenylsilanes with alcohols. Moreover, the silanization reaction does not require the addition of an activator. Summary of the Invention
