Preferential α-hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes by bis-N-heterocyclic carbene rhodium(III) catalysts

We describe a bis-N-heterocyclic carbene rhodium(III) complex, featuring two trifluoroacetato ligands, that affords a variety of a-vinylsilanes in good yields by hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes. Selectivities around 7:1 α/β-(E) were reached, while the β-(Z) product was only marginally obtained....

Sumario:We describe a bis-N-heterocyclic carbene rhodium(III) complex, featuring two trifluoroacetato ligands, that affords a variety of a-vinylsilanes in good yields by hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes. Selectivities around 7:1 α/β-(E) were reached, while the β-(Z) product was only marginally obtained. This example sharply contrasts with the β-(Z)-selectivity observed for its parent diiodido complex
