that small amounts of water were beneficial for the catalytic activity,
increasing the conversion of styrene oxide to styrene carbonate.
However, a further increase in the amount of water added was detri-
mental and the conversion decreased due to hydrolysis of the alumi-
num alkyl groups.
Other reactions between epoxides and heterocumulenes (also known
as heteroallenes), such as carbon disulfide and isocyanates, afford cyclic
di- or trithiocarbonates and oxazolidinones, respectively, and these have
been studied using various aluminum-based catalysts (Scheme 1.5).
Al(C6F5)3 in hexane.72 With the super Lewis acidity of Al(C6F5)3, the sila-
ne alane system exhibits high catalytic activity. Indeed, 98% conversion
during the hydrosilylation of 1-hexene was achieved using 5 mol% of sila-
ne alane complex [Et3SiH_Al(C6F5)3] in 30 min, with a TOF value of 39 h21
(Scheme 1.8). Noticeably, the silane borane complex [Et3SiH_B(C6F5)3],
