The interaction of acyl halides and organosilicon hydrides catalysed by platinum and rhodium complexes. A new route to ketones
Abstract
Acyl halides react with triethylsilane in presence of certain platinum complexes to give aldhydes, but in the presence of rhodium catalysts (e.g. mer-[RhCl3(PBun2-Ph)3]) formation of ketones can predominate.
