N-Heterocyclic carbene-initiated hydrosilylation of styryl alcohols with dihydrosilanes: a mechanistic investigation†
Abstract
Investigation of the mechanism of the NHC-initiated hydrosilylation of styryl alcohols in the presence of a dihydrosilane suggests a general base catalysis mechanism and not the activation of the dihydrosilane by the NHC.
