Hydrosilylation of epoxides catalyzed by a cationic η1-silane iridium(iii) complex

Abstract

Cationic silane complex 2, catalyzes the hydrosilylation of epoxides and cyclic ethers to give the silyl-protected alcohols, regioselectively. A mechanistic study shows that the epoxide undergoes isomerization to the ketone, followed by hydrosilylation.
