Abstract

In the presence of catalytic amounts of PtCl2 and metal iodides, β-substituted vinylsilanes reacted with aldehydes at the β-position to give allyl silyl ethers. The Pt-catalyzed addition to aromatic aldehydes proceeded efficiently in the presence of LiI. The combined use of PtCl2 and MnI2 was found to be effective in addition to aliphatic aldehydes.
