In the presence of platinum catalysts, silicon hydrides react with allylic chlorides in a highly complex way. The products obtained from 1-chlorobutene-2, 3-chlorobutene-1, 1, 4dichlorobutene-2, and 3, 4dichlorobutene-2 were found to include numerous compounds, The formation of the various compounds is explained as due to a series of allyl rearrangements, eliminations of chloride from allylic chlorides and double bond ...
