Abstract

The use of dirhodium (II) catalysts in the 1, 4-hydrosilylation of α, β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes was explored. Dirhodium (II) tetrakis (perfluorobutyrate), Rh 2 (pfb) 4, proved to be the catalyst of choice for this process, providing the corresponding silyl enol ethers in high yields.
