Abstract:
A method for converting geminal dibromides into 1,1-disilylated alkanes is reported. The reaction is promoted by a copper(I) catalyst generated in situ from CuBr·SMe2 as a precatalyst and 4,4'-di- tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dtbpy) as a ligand. A Si-B reagent is used as the silicon pronucleophile. It is shown that the two C(sp3)-Si bond-forming events differ in mechanism, with the first being ionic and the second being radical.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
