This study presents the use of MnBr(CO)5 for the selective conversion of silanes to silanols with water as an oxidant generating valuable hydrogen as the only by-product.
Nascent developments in the main group element-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes.
A facile mono- and di-hydrosilylation of various carbonyls is reported under mild reaction conditions to afford silyl ether-protected alcohols in a single step using novel zinc complexes supported by amidophosphinochalcogenide ligand moieties.
Iron pincer complexes are efficient in catalyzing various organic reactions with excellent selectivity and functional group tolerance at moderate reaction conditions. This review focuses on the applications of iron pincer complexes in hydrosilylation reactions.
The commercially available, inexpensive and air-stable manganese catalyst MnBr(CO)5 has proven to be an excellent catalyst for the reduction of a wide variety of sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfides in excellent yields and good chemoselectivity.
