transition metal complexes was examined and Co2(CO)8, Ru3(CO)12, and RhCl(PPh)3)3 shown to be effective. The catalyzed reaction of methylacrylate also gave the corresponding enol silyl ethers. The Co2(CO)8-catalyzed reaction of 1,5-hexadiene with a hydrosilane and carbon monoxide afforded a cyclic compound in addition to straight-chain enol silyl ethers.
