Ahstrad: Csrbonyl molybdeaum and hmgsten oxadiene cotnplexcs exhibit high cstalytic activity in hydmilylation of t#Iumma Wanes and aldehydr?s, even those gcwmctdtiy fixed in s-(mns- amngement, using PbSiwJ and Ph@$. In the case 64-pbenylbut-3~-Z-onc as s&@ate, variable chemwelecdvity is oLlaerva3 dqmding on the specific catalyst employed
Hydrosilylation of unsaturati carbony compounds provides access not only to saturated and unsaturated
silyl ethers. Hydrolysis of these primary products 2 and 3 may also lead to satum&d ca&onyi compotmds U and
sllylic alcohols 5, as depicted in Scheme 1. Platinum metals, specB&y rhodium and platinum complexes are
usually employed as catalystsl for ~ tllese Gactions.
Hexacatbonyl molybdenum has been reportedz to catalyze silane additions to unsaturated ketones almady
some years ago. Unfortunately, relatively large amounts of catalyst (4-9 mol-96) aud a large excess of silane
were needed to a&eve these results. In contrast, byte oxadiene camplexes, e.g. compounds 6a3, 7a4,

Several conclusions can be deduced from the results in Table 1. Firstly, with sterically hindered, less
reactive silanes like triethyl silane, only a stoichiomettic maction could be achieved (entry 1). Reactions with
diphenyl silane are again slower than those with plnmyl silane (entries 2, 4). Molybdenum complexes, e.g.
dicarbonylbis[(R)-(+)-pulegone]molybdemun 6n, am much more active catalysts than the corresponding,
isostructural tungsten.complexes (entries 3,4). Therefore, most of the results presented arise from the use of
molybdenum catalysts. Comparison of entries 1.2 and 3 shows that there is no sign&ant influence of the s&me
on product distribution, l&addition takes place in all cases, an observation quite unusual for catalytic
hydmsilylation.7 With the pinocarvone complexes 7, reactions proceed even faster, the tungsten complex again
being less active and selective (entries 5, 6). So far, the oxadiene substrates and the oxadiene ligands of the
catalyst have been chosen to be identical. Entries 7 to 12 with a diffemnt substrate show this selection not to be
essential, 4phenylbut-3-en-2-one (14) may serve as example. Most interesting in these cases, the product
mixtures obtained with diffmt oxadiene molybdenum carbonyl catalysts (entries 9, 11, 12) widely differ with
respect to product ratio (H/16), ranging from only 21% to about 60% of allylic alcohol 16 at almost complete
conversions, thus contrasting previous Rndingsz with Mo(CO)6, where the saturated ketone 15 has been
reported as exclusive product. Even ~6benxenetricarbonyl molybdenum shows a relatively low catalytic
activity in the above reaction, again leading to a diffemnt product ratio, i.e. a 1 : 1 mixture of 15 and 16.
Mechanistically, these results can be taken as evidence for at least one of the oxadiene ligatxls staying
coordinated to the metal centre during the catalytic cycle. As complexes 6 and 7 are enantiomerically pure, this
might allow for their use in asymmetric hydrosilylation. Experiments in order to explore this possibility am
underway. Loss of both oxadiene ligands, on the other hand, should lead to the formation of identical
catalytically active species even from different oxadiene complexes and themfore give rise to identical product
ratios, which is not observed. It yet remains unclear if the ligand stays in a ~‘&ordination mode which might
be essential in order to produce sufficient rigidity to allow asymmetric induction in this catalysis.
The terpene ketone R-(-)-cawone (17) with an oxadiene fragment fixed in s-trans geometry is another
interesting substrate in several respects. Its reaction in the presence of phenyl silane leads to the formation of a
mixture of diastemomers of 1,2- and 1,4addition products (Scheme 2). Especially the formation of the latter is
remarkable, as it has not been observed so far with group VI metal catalysts. A simultaneous interaction of the
metal with both carbonyl and alkene fragment, which is unlikely in s-zrans oxadienes, has pmviouslyZs been
assumed as being necessary for the hydmsilylation to pmceed in order to explain why s-rruns oxadienes could
not be 1.4hydrosilylated or -hydrogenated with those catalysts. Secondly, the carvone reaction shown hem is
specific for the oxadiene fisgrnenk no hydtosilylation takes place at the isopropenyl group. The overall
reactivity thus strongly parallels that observed with noble metal catalysts, e.g. of rhodium or palladium P

With unsaturated aklehycles 20 or 22 as substrates, the reactions exclusively produce the comqonding
allylic alcohols 21 and 23 in high yieb (Scheme 3). This selectivity might be arising Finn the formation of an
in- ql- or q2-bound aldehyde complexes leading to an exclusive activation of the carbonyl fragment
of the oxadiene. Such ql- and q2-aldehyde complexes are known as stable compounds for a variety of metals1o
including tungsten, whereas only few iron complexes with q4-bound unsaturated aldehydes exist.

In conclusion, molybdenum oxadiene complexes are not only active catalysts for the hydrosilylation of
unsaturated carbonyl compounds, but allow a tuning of chemoselectivity by selection of the catalysts ligands.
This may lead to interesting preparative applications as well as to an improved understanding of the influences
arising from the ligand sphere in an active hydrosilylation catalyst.

The complexes of pinocarvone and 5-methylhex-3-m-2-one am prepared similar to those of pulegone (as &scribed in Ref. 3) in comparable yields. When mono- or diphenyl silane are used, more than one of the hydrogen atums at silicon is active in the hydrosilylation reaction, permitting the use of substoichlometric amounts (50 and 70 mol-%, respectively) of these silanes. e.g.: Ojima, I.: The Hydrosilylation Reaction.
