Abstract

The organolanthanide-and Group 3 metallocene-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynylsilanes has been found to provide (Z)-1, 1-bis (silyl) alkenes. In particular, Cp* 2YMe· THF (1),[CpTMS2YMe] 2 (2), and [CpTMS2LuMe] 2 (3) were shown to be regioselective for the hydrosilylation of various alkynylsilanes (). The process was evaluated for diverse substitution patterns and functional groups on the pendant alkyl chain. Silyl ethers and ...
