Supported Palladium–Gold Alloy Catalysts for Efficient and Selective Hydrosilylation under Mild Conditions with Isolated Single Palladium Atoms in Alloy Nanoparticles as the Main Active Site
Supported Pd–Au alloy catalysts were developed for the highly efficient and selective hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones and alkynes. The Pd/Au atomic ratio of the Pd–Au alloy and the supporting material affected the catalytic activity, and supported Pd–Au alloy nanoparticles with a low Pd/Au atomic ratio functioned as highly active heterogeneouscatalystsundermildreactionconditions.

Stereoselective synthesis of either (E)- or (Z)-silyl enol ether from the same acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketone using cationic rhodium complex-catalyzed 1,4-hydrosilylation
The stereoselective synthesis of either (E)- or (Z)-silyl enolether from the same acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketone is reported. Highly (Z)-selective conditions were the use of [Rh(cod)2]BF4/DPPE at roomtemperature with no solvent, whereas (E)-selective conditions were the use of [Rh(cod)2]BF4/P(1-Nap)3 (1-Nap = 1-naphthyl) under refluxing dichloromethane.
