The formation of several silyl ethers (alkoxysilanes, R3Si-OR') and unsymmetrical siloxanes (R3Si-O-SiR'3) can be catalyzed by the commercially available potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KHMDS). The reaction proceeds via direct dealkynative coupling between various alcohols or silanols and alkynylsilanes, with a simultaneous formation of gaseous acetylene as the sole by-product. The dehydrogenative and dealkenative coupling of alcohols or silanols are well-investigated, whilst the utilization of alkynylsilanes as silylating agents has never been comprehensively studied in this context. Overall, the presented system allows the synthesis of various attractive organosilicon compounds under mild conditions, making this approach an atom-efficient, environmentally benign, and sustainable alternative to existing synthetic solutions.
Regioselectivity of Hydroxyl Radical Reactions with Arenes in Nonaqueous Solutions

The regioselectivity of hydroxyl radical addition to arenes was studied using a novel analytical method capable of trapping radicals formed after the first elementary step of reaction, without alteration of the product distributions by secondary oxidation processes. Product analyses of these reactions indicate a preference for o- over p-substitution for electron donating groups, with both favored over m-addition. The observed distributions are qualitatively similar to those observed for the addition of other carbon-centered radicals, although the magnitude of the regioselectivity observed is greater for hydroxyl. The data, reproduced by high accuracy CBS-QB3 computational methods, indicate that both polar and radical stabilization effects play a role in the observed regioselectivities. The application and potential limitations of the analytical method used are discussed.
Lanthanum trichloride: An efficient catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups by activating hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)

A variety of hydroxy functional groups was protected as their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers using HMDS in the presence of lanthanum trichloride. The catalyst LaCl3 activates the HMDS and accelerates the reaction under mild reaction conditions at room temperature to afford the corresponding silylated products in excellent yields.
