title: Hydrosilylation of alkynes with a cationic rhodium species formed in an anionic micellar system.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Rhodium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes in an aqueous micellar system has been developed. A combination of [RhCl(nbd)](2) and bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) effects (E)-selective hydrosilylation in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in water. The (E)-selectivity strongly indicates the formation of a cationic rhodium species via dissociation of the Rh-Cl bond by the action of anionic micelles. The addition of sodium iodide provided (Z)-alkenylsilanes predominantly.
