Highly efficient regioselective hydrosilylation of allenes using a [(3IP)Pd(allyl)]OTf catalyst; first example of allene hydrosilylation with phenyl- and diphenylsilane.
A [(3IP)Pd(allyl)]OTf complex was shown to function efficiently and regioselectively in allene hydrosilylation with phenyl- and diphenylsilane. The catalyst also proved to be highly active for allene hydrosilylation employing a wide range of silanes, each of which produced a single regioisomer.
