An unexpected mechanism of hydrosilylation by a silyl hydride complex of molybdenum.
Carbonyl hydrosilylation catalyzed by (ArN)Mo(H)(SiH(2)Ph)(PMe(3))(3) (3) is unusual in that it does not involve the expected Si-O elimination from intermediate (ArN)Mo(SiH(2)Ph)(O(i)Pr)(PMe(3))(2) (7). Instead, 7 reversibly transfers β-CH hydrogen from the alkoxide ligand to metal.
