Abstract

Abstract Electroreductive silylation of α, β-unsaturated esters, nitriles and ketones in the presence of Me 3 SiCl using a reactive metal anode (Mg, Zn, Al) in an undivided cell afforded the corresponding β-silyl compounds offering a valuable method for introduction of a silyl group into activated olefins.
