Abstract

Oxidative addition of a Si-H bond to a transition-metal center is a key step in catalytic hydrosilylation reactions. l $ The addition-elimination process is a fast eq~ ilibrium.~ This process takes place with retention of configuration (RN) at silicon, as deduced from the catalytic SiH/SiD exchange4 $ rather than with a double inversion (INV) that seems less probable since the Si-H bond is always displaced with retention of configuration (Scheme ...
