Identifying a cobalt catalyst for highly selective hydrosilylation of allenes†
Abstract
An efficient method of cobalt-catalyzed allene-hydrosilylation is developed. The reaction enjoys an excellent regio- and stereoselectivity and a broad scope affording Z-allylic silanes. Many synthetically useful functional groups can be tolerated. A Co(I)-species involved mechanism is proposed.
