A series of novel monothiolate-bridged dirhodium complexes, [Cp*Rh(μ-SR)(μ-Cl)2RhCp*][BF4] Cp* = η5-C5Me5, R = tertiary butyl (tBu), 1a; R = ferrocenyl (Fc), 1b; R = adamantyl (Ad), 1c} were designed and successfully synthesized, which can smoothly facilitate highly regioselective and stereoselective hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes to afford β(Z) vinylsilanes with good functional group compatibility
Acyloins are efficiently synthesized in three steps from alkynes via hydrosilylation followed by an addition-type ozoneoxidation and hydrogenation. The key intermediate α-silylperoxy ketone is con...
