Catalytic hydrosilylation of α-olefins with chlorodimethylsilane
摘要
The catalytic hydrosilylation of three different α-olefins (1-octene, 2-vinylnorbornane, and vinylferrocene) was studied using chlorodimethylsilane as an activated hydrosilane in the presence of Pt-, Rh-, and Pd-containing catalysts. The reactions can proceed with quantitative olefin conversion and high anti-Markovnikov selectivity of hydrosilane addition. Conditions for the selective anti-Markovnikov addition of chlorodimethylsilane to vinylferrocene providing more than 98% total yield were identified.
