title: Norbornadiene as an efficient hydrogen scavenger for the palladium-catalyzed conversion of hydrosilanes to alkoxysilanes.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed mild and efficient method for the alcoholysis of hydrosilanes containing a C=C bond in the presence of norbornadiene (NBD) is reported. The highly strained NBD acts as a hydrogen scavenger, which abstracts the hydrogen produced during the process, protecting the C=C bond from being hydrogenated.
