Abstract
Isolable dialkylsilylene 5 reacts with dihydrogen in the presence of a small amount of a conventional Lewis acid (BPh3 , BEt3 ) or a base (PPh3 , PEt3 , NPh3 , NEt3 ) at low temperatures in a hydrocarbon solvent, giving the corresponding dihydrosilane 10 in high yields. Both 5/Lewis acid and Lewis base/5 pairs work as a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) to split dihydrogen, being in accord with the amphoteric nature of silylene 5.Entities:
