Abstract

Until very recently, the main mechanistic proposal for metal catalyzed hydrosilylation had been based on the variations of Chalk–Harrod mechanism(9) (for alkenes and alkynes) and Ojima mechanism (for carbonyls),(10) which starts with oxidative addition of silane to metal, substrate coordination, and migration of the silyl (or the hydride ligand) followed by either reductive C–H elimination (or Si–C for alkenes and O–Si elimination for carbonyls). Heterolytic ...
