Abstract

We report the first diarylborane-catalysed hydrosilylation of epoxides and cyclic ethers. Mechanistic studies on the in situ generated Piers’ borane (C₆F₅)₂BH with hydrosilanes in the presence of an epoxide revealed that an alkyloxy(diaryl)borane (C₆F₅)₂BOR is readily formed as a catalytically competent species for the outer-sphere hydrosilylation of epoxides and cyclic ethers.
