The hydrosilylation of allyl compounds is often accompanied by the formation of high amounts of byproducts. The formation processes have not been fully understood so far. In this work, the allyl hydrosilylation mechanism is investigated in detail and experimental and theoretical evidence for multiple, coexisting reaction pathways is provided. Based on earlier reports and the observations during an extensive catalytic study, different pathways, leading to the observed byproducts, were identified and proven by labeling experiments and DFT calculations. Oxidative addition of the silane and the insertion of the allyl compound into the Pt-H bond turned out to be the crucial, selectivity-determining steps within the catalytic cycle. Based on these findings, it should be possible to systematically influence these steps and pave the way to a rational and straightforward design of more selective catalysts.

The hydrosilylation of allyl compounds is very important for the industrial production of gamma-substituted propylsilanes; however, it is also a process known to suffer from either substantial selectivity issues or short catalyst lifetimes. While there are reports on the platinum-catalyzed variant, this study is the first comprehensive work on the more recently employed iridium-catalyzed process. A combination of stoichiometric and catalytic experiments as well as reactions with isotope-labeled compounds is used to elucidate the critical parameters influencing the catalytic performance and to identify the main deactivation pathways. This report is intended to pave the way toward the optimization of current iridium-catalyzed processes and the design and synthesis of improved catalyst structures. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
