Abstract

The reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide (1) with acetylenes in the presence of a transition-metal complex was investigated. The structures of starting acetylenes and catalysts and both amounts of solvent and 1 highly affected product distributions. The PdClz/pyridine catalyzed reaction of phenylacetylene and para-substituted phenylacetylenes with 1 resulted in the addition of 1 to the carbon-carbon triple bonds to give cyano-substituted vinylsilanes in ...
