Ruthenium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of 1-alkynes with novel regioselectivity.
[reaction: see text] A ruthenium catalyst precursor bearing a bulky and electron-donating pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand, typically CpRuH3(PPh3), mediates hydrosilylation of several 1-alkynes with novel regioselectivity to give preferentially 2-silyl-1-alkenes.
