B(C6F5)(3)-Catalyzed Dehydrocoupling of POSS Silanols with Hydrosilanes: A Metal-Free Strategy for Effecting Functionalization of Silsesquioxanes
We report a highly effective metal-free catalytic procedure for the functionalization of silsesquioxanes via dehydrocoupling of various POSS silanols with hydrosilanes in the presence of commercially available tris(pentafluorophenyl)-borane B(C6F5)(3). This approach enables the unprecedented one-pot synthesis of valuable silsesquioxane derivatives under mild conditions, with no corrosive byproducts formed in the process.
