Abstract

The reaction of an excess of methyl acrylate with hydrosilanes using Co2(C0)* as a catalyst gives methyl (E)-3-silylacrylates in high yields. ... Although it is well known that Co,(CO), is an effective catalyst for the hydrosilylation of alkenes to produce alkyl- silanes, similar reactions of acrylates have not been reported so far? We report here the Co,(CO),-catalysed reaction of methyl acrylate with hydrosilanes. The reaction of an excess of methyl acrylate with hydrosilanes using ...
