Significance
An organocatalytic hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide is reported. The authors found that NHCs efficiently catalyze the hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide under mild conditions with catalyst loadings of down to 0.05 mol%. The desired methoxide products, and methanol obtained after hydrolysis, are formed selectively and even dry air could be used as a feedstock. A detailed mechanistic proposal for the reaction and the formation of the methoxide products based on GC-MS and NMR spectroscopy studies is also provided.
