Silver-catalyzed hydrosilylation of aldehydes.
Silver triflate, either alone or in the presence of an appropriate phosphine or NHC ligand, has been shown to catalyze the chemoselective hydrosilylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to yield silyl ethers, thus representing the first systematic application of silver species as catalysts for the hydrosilylation of unsaturated organic substrates.
