title: PtCl2/XPhos: a highly efficient and readily available catalyst for the hydrosilylation of propargylic alcohols.
abstract: A highly regioselective hydrosilylation of propargylic alcohols has been developed using an in situ prepared PtCl(2)/XPhos catalyst system. The reaction is tolerant of many functional groups and exhibits excellent regio and geometric selectivity.
