Introduction
Nowadays, the demand for enantiomerically pure compounds is increasing gradually in the fields of biochemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry.1 Chiral alcohols and amines are common organic compounds as important building blocks for organic synthesis.2 The asymmetric reduction of unsaturated compounds, such as ketones and imines, remains one of the fundamental approaches to synthesize biologically active agents and pharmaceutical products in the laboratory and industry.3,4 At the same time, silanes have been developed as an alternative to hydrogenation reagents because the H–Si bond is easier to be heterolytically splitted by catalysts than H–H bonds in organic synthesis.5 Furthermore, hydrosilylation reactions play a crucial role across industrial fields due to the easily handled, low cost and non-toxic characteristics of silicon reagents,6 together with the mild reaction conditions required and various applications. The silyl group is also retained as a protecting group to facilitate further functionalization of the reaction products.7,8 Currently, the asymmetric hydrosilylation of prochiral ketones and imines has been investigated by using transition metal catalysts, such as Rh,9 Ir,10 Co,11 Fe,12 Ru13a,c,d and so on.
In order to make progress in asymmetric catalytic hydrosilylation of ketones and imines, low reaction activity, narrow substrate range, harsh reaction conditions and difficult recovery of catalysts need to be overcome, great progress and important breakthroughs need to be made in the challenging hydrosilylation of ketones and imines.13 Interestingly, in the hydrosilylation of ketones, rhodium catalysts can reach more than 90% ee for a broad spectrum of substrates despite a reaction temperature of about −60 °C.14 Cobalt(III) complexes have also been used as catalysts for this reaction but require temperatures of 60 °C and long reaction times to give the final products.15 In 2019, Koga and coworkers explored the mechanism of hydrosilylation of imines by using iron catalysts.16a An iron three membered ring intermediate was suggested.16a Hasegawa's group investigated the Rh-catalyzed hydrosilylation of acetone or ethylene with tertiary silane to examine three existing mechanisms, the Chalk–Harrod (CH) mechanism, the modified Chalk–Harrod (mCH) mechanism, and the outer-sphere mechanism.16b They also proposed another two reaction pathways, the double hydride (DH) mechanism and the alternative Chalk–Harrod (aCH) mechanism.16b It was found that the entire hydrosilylation reaction takes place only at the center of the reaction, without the participation of the ligand. Single active site catalysts can be used for the molecular catalysts, but also for periodic surface catalysis. The 2D materials are a platform to design efficient single active site catalysts for various reactions.17
Moreover, coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium(II) thiolate complexes with bulky ligands reported by Tatsumi and Oestreich have been used in the cooperative activation of H–H bonds,18 Si–H bonds,19 B–H bonds20 and Al–H bonds.21 Based on these works, the Oestreich group changed the phosphine ligand to a chiral monodentate phosphine ligand to achieve enantioselective hydrosilylation of enolizable imines and ketones, which provided the corresponding chiral products at low catalyst loadings (as low as 1 mol%) at room temperature and with no additives.22 Differently, in the Ru–S catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction, it is assumed that the transition metal Ru shows Lewis acidity while the thiolate ligand works as the Lewis base to split X–H (X = B, Al, Si) bonds. That is to say, the [Ru–S] complex was performed bifunctional catalytic activation. Although (S)-silyl amines and (S)-silyl ethers were observed as the major products, but the ee value is not very high. Intrigued by these experimental results, we are interested in studying the mechanism of Ru–S cooperatively catalyzed enantionselective hydrosilylation of imines and ketones, in order to confirm the role of basic thiolate ligand in these reactions and investigate the methods to improve the ee value.
Computational details
Gaussian 16
23 was used for all calculations in this work. Geometric structures optimization and frequency calculation were conducted by M062X24 functional in gas phase at T = 298.15 K and 1 atm pressure. The LANL2DZ basis set was used for Ru atom25 with the polarization functions added for Ru (f = 1.235).26 The all-electron basis set 6-31G27 was used in describing the atoms (C, H, O, N, P, S). There is no imaginary frequency for all the intermediates while only-one imaginary frequency is in transition state (TS) structures. In addition, the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculation28 which correctly bridged the intermediates further demonstrate the credibility of transition state structures. Based on the gas-phase optimized geometries, solvation effect of toluene was incorporated with the SMD29 model at the level of B3LYP-D3
30 while LANL2DZ basis set for Ru atom and 6-311++G** basis set for all other main group atoms. We used simplified Si reagent PhSiH3 rather than PhMeSiH2 to avoid the overestimation of the steric effect from reactant. All 3D molecular structures were generated by using the CYLview (Version) program.31 The numbers shown in energy profiles are solvent corrected Gibbs free energies based on SMD model.
Results and discussion
Based on the experimental observation, we studied the reaction mechanism of the Ru–S catalyzed hydrosilylation of imines and ketones in order to understand better on the dual role of Ru–S catalyst and how the enantioselectivity is controlled by using bulky ligand on Ru–S catalyst.22 Since imines and ketones can react with silanes to give hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation products as shown in Scheme 1. Reactions of imines and ketones with silanes promoted by catalyst I1 can have reaction pathways: (1) the cleavage of Si–H bond by Ru–S bond; (2) silyl group transfer from S to X (X = N, O); (3) hydrogen transfer from Ru to carbon of imine or ketone or proton transfer from imine or ketone to sulfur ligand; (4) [Ru–S] complex regeneration through H2 release or hydrogenation reaction of alkenyl silane (Scheme 2). The detailed mechanism of these pathways will be studied and discussed and the origin of the competition between hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation reactions is addressed. Unless specified, all the figures of the potential energy profiles are presented in the relative Gibbs free energies in solution (kcal mol−1). The relative Gibbs free energies and electronic energies in gas-phase are shown in Table S1 (see ESI† for details). The relative Gibbs free energies and relative electronic energies in gas-phase are similar in cases when the number of the reactant and product molecules is equal, for example, one-to-one or two-to-two transformations. However, this differs significantly for one-to-two or two-to-one transformations because of the entropic contribution.

Free energy profile for I1 catalyzed hydrosilylation of imine is shown in Fig. 1. The catalytic reaction is triggered by the coordination of silane on Ru center to form intermediate I2. Then, H–Si bond is splitted heterolytically by Ru–S bond, which undergoes silane activation process via a silicon-stabilized quadrilateral transition state TSI2-I3 (ΔG‡ = 7.5 kcal mol−1) to give a silicon electrophile and a metal hydride due to the Lewis acidic Ru center and basic thiolate ligand. Next, the silyl group migrates from S to N of imine through transition state TSI3-I4 with a free energy barrier of 27.7 kcal mol−1, which is the rate determining step of the whole reaction. After that, the hydride on Ru transfers to silyl imide cation with enantioselectivity. At last, R- and S-silyl amines are generated by the transition states TSRI4-I1 and TSSI4-I1 with the energy barriers 17.1 kcal mol−1 and 16.8 kcal mol−1, respectively. Therefore, S-silyl amine is the main product in the whole reaction with 24.79% ee by calculation. Taking a close look at the structures of transition states TSRI4-I1 and TSSI4-I1, we found that the repulsion between amine group and phosphine ligand is larger in TSRI4-I1 than that between methyl group and phosphine ligand in TSSI4-I1, leading to lower energy of TSSI4-I1 (Fig. 2).

Considering the basicity of thiolate ligand, a possible reaction pathway is the proton transfer from silyl imide cation to S in I4 through transition state TSI4-I5 (18.8 kcal mol−1 energy barrier) to release silyl enamine and generate intermediate I5 as shown in Fig. 3. And hydrogen elimination takes place through transition state TSI5-I6 (ΔG‡ = 17.5 kcal mol−1) to give intermediate I6. At last, dehydrogenation happens to regenerate I1 via the TSI6-I1 with the barrier of 19.1 kcal mol−1, finishing the catalytic cycle. Although the reaction barriers for all these processes are low, the whole reaction is endothermic, about 3.1 kcal mol−1, which makes the pathway in Fig. 4 thermodynamically unfavorable. In summary, the main product of this reaction can be silyl amine instead of silyl enamine.

As part of the ongoing effort to explore the reduction of aryl ketone. Similar to the calculation of Ru–S catalyzed reaction of imine with silane, we also study the reaction mechanism of ketone with PhSiH3. As shown in Fig. 4, when I3 reacts with ketone, silyl group migrates from I3 to O of keto to give I7 via a very high energy barrier (TSI3-I7, ΔG‡ = 28.6 kcal mol−1), which is also the rate determining step of the whole reaction. After that, the hydride transfer from Ru to carbonyl carbon to give R- and S-silyl ether through transition states TSRI7-I1 and TSSI7-I1 with the energy barriers 17.3 kcal mol−1 and 18.2 kcal mol−1, respectively. Here, the calculation results show that the formation of R- and S-silyl ether have similar reaction barriers resulting of moderate enantioselectivity of products, about 64.08% ee of R-silyl ether. Taking a close look at the structures of transition states TSRI7-I1 and TSSI7-I1, we found that the repulsion between silyl ether group and phosphine ligand in TSRI7-I1 and the repulsion between phenyl group and phosphine ligand in TSSI7-I1 are all not obvious, leading to similar energy of TSRI7-I1 and TSSI7-I1 (Fig. 5).

In the same way, there is another reaction pathway from intermediate I7 when considering the Lewis basicity of sulfur ligand. As shown in Fig. 6, hydrogen transfer from methyl group to sulfur occurs because of the electronegativity of thiolate ligand resulting in the formation of I5 and release the alkenyl silyl ether. I6 is generated through transition state TSI5-I6 with the energy barrier 17.9 kcal mol−1 by transferring hydrogen from S to Ru. At last, reductive elimination occurs to regenerate I1 and release dihydrogen via TSI6-I1 with the energy barrier 19.4 kcal mol−1. Similar to dehydrogenative silylation of imine, the reaction pathway in Fig. 4 is endothermic, which makes the dehydrogenative silylation of ketone thermodynamically unfavorable. Therefore, the main product of this Ru–S cooperatively catalyzed reaction is silyl ether instead of silyl-ketene.

When the phosphine ligand is changed from L* to P(iso-butanyl)3, the energy difference between R- and S- transition states (TSs) became larger and enantioselectivity is enhanced a lot (Fig. 7). Comparing the structural character of transition states TSRI9-I1, TSSI9-I1, TSRI10-I1 and TSSI10-I1, the repulsion between silyl group and phosphine ligand in TSRI9-I1 and TSRI10-I1 is much larger than the repulsion between phenyl group and phosphine ligand in TSSI9-I1 and TSSI10-I1, which explains the ee value predicted from model ligand P(iso-butanyl)3. The larger repulsion makes the transition state more distorted, which destabilizes the TSRI9-I1 and TSRI10-I1,32 while for catalysts with smaller repulsion in TS, the attractive, dynamic, and cooperative non-covalent interactions can make other R- and S- transition states have similar flexibility and stability.32d

Conclusion
In summary, we set out to elucidate the mechanism of the [Ru–S] complex as catalysts for hydrosilylation of ketones and imines and explain the chemo- and enantio-selectivity involved in these reactions. In the catalytic process, the [Ru–S] complex is assumed to play a decisive role by heterolytically splitting the Si–H bond to form a sulfur-stabilized ruthenium hydride intermediate and a Si electrophile that can attract electron rich N and O atoms to form a cation. Although both hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation processes afterward have barriers less than 30 kcal mol−1, the dehydrogenative silylation is reversible, making this pathway unfavourable. At the same time, the regioselectivity of these reactions is not high according to our calculations, we can predict that a bulky phosphine ligand such as P(iso-butanyl)3 can enhance the enantioselectivity significantly.
