Abstract Hydrosilylation of divinyl and diallyl sulphide by triethyl-and triethoxysilane catalyzed by H 2 PtCl 6. 6 H 2 O and [RhCl {P (C 6 H 5) 3} 3] has been studied. With divinyl sulphide the addition of X 3 SiH (X= C 2 H 5 or OC 2 H 5) across the double bond proceeded to a negligible extent, the main reaction route being the cleavage of the= CH-S bond. The course of the reaction of diallyl sulphide depended strongly upon the catalyst ...
