Popis: The synthesis and structures of silaoxazolinium salts 2 and their application to the catalytic Mukaiyama aldol reaction are described. The reaction of (N-amidomethyl)dimethylchlorosilane (1a) or (N-amidomethyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)chlorosilane (1b) with metal salts of weakly coordinating anions such as Na[TFPB] (TFPB = B[3,5-(CF3)2C6H3]4–) and Cs[CB11H12] (CB11H12– = carba-closo-dodecaborate) gave the corresponding five-membered-ring silaoxazolinium salts 2 in high yields (93–97%). The structures of a series of silaoxazolinium salts 2 were determined by X-ray crystal analysis as well as 29Si NMR spectra. It was proved that the silicon atoms of silaoxazolinium salts 2a,b are nearly completely free from the coordination of anions, and the geometries of the silicon centers are distorted tetrahedra. The 29Si chemical shifts of salts 2 appeared in the range +31 to +49 ppm, revealing the appreciable silylium cation character of the silicon. The silaoxazolinium salt of TFPB anion 2a exhibited effective catalytic a...
