Platinum-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of vinylsilanes at the beta-position.
In the presence of catalytic amounts of PtCl(2) and metal iodides, beta-substituted vinylsilanes reacted with aldehydes at the beta-position to give allyl silyl ethers. The Pt-catalyzed addition to aromatic aldehydes proceeded efficiently in the presence of LiI. The combined use of PtCl(2) and MnI(2) was found to be effective in addition to aliphatic aldehydes.
