Group 6 anionic μ-hydride complexes catalyze hydrogenation of conjugated olefins, aldehydes, ketoesters, and alkynes, and hydrosilylation of aldehydes and conjugated olefins with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Ketones are converted into silyl ethers and silyl enol ethers with monohydrosilanes and dihydrosilanes, respectively.
Hydrosilylation of Diene Derivatives Catalyzed by Fe-Iminobipyridine Complexes Aiming at Syntheses of Organosilane Compounds Containing a Terminal Olefin Portion
The catalytic ability of Fe-iminobipyridine complexes ((BPI)FeBr2, BPI = iminobipyridine) for hydrosilylation of both a non-conjugated diene and a conjugated diene was investigated aiming at the pr...
