Ru-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of carboxylic acids and silanes - a new method for the preparation of silyl ester

Ru3(CO)12/EtI has been found to be an efficient catalyst system for the dehydrosilylation of carboxylic acids with silanes. In the presence of 1 mol% Ru3(CO)12 and 4 mol% EtI, dehydrosilylation reactions in toluene afforded the corresponding silyl esters at 100 °C in good and high yields.
