Abstract

WHILE the transition metal complex-catalysed hydrosilyla- tion of terminal olefins is a well established reaction (A)l only scattered reports have appeared concerning the co- production of ~inylsilanes.~-~ Most of those have related to the formation of styrylsilanes from the reactions of styrene (or substituted styrenes) with R,SiH.,-, The current inter- est in vinylsilanes as organic synthons6 prompts us to report our results on an efficient direct conversion of a-olefins ...
