Abstract

Abstract The two component (Ziegler) catalyst [Rh (acac) 3]-AlEt 3 (or an analogue with an alternative cocatalyst) has been investigated for the hydrosilylation by SiHX 3 of alkynes, dienes, alkenes, styrene, or allylbenzene at 60 C. Terminal alkynes did not yield adducts, but internal alkynes RC CR′ gave products of cis-addition with SiHEt 3 or SiHEt 2 Me (but not SiH (OEt) 3), without regiospecificity for the case of R≠ R′. Acyclic dienes gave 1/1 ...
