Highly efficient and general Ir-catalyzed hydrosilylation of unactivated alkenes with excellent anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity was described. A broad scope of hydrosilylated products were synthesized economically and conveniently from commercially or naturally available compounds, which provides versatile valuable precursors for organic and medicinal studies.
