Y. Goldberg et H. Alper, TRANSITION-METAL COMPLEXES OF TROGERS BASE AND THEIR CATALYTIC ACTIVITY FOR THE HYDROSILYLATION OF ALKYNES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(3), 1995, pp. 369-372
Rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes of Troger's base (TB), of stru
ctural type TB(.)2MCl(3) (M = Rh, Ir), were prepared by treatment of T
B with MCl(3). The rhodium complex readily catalyzed the hydrosilylati
on of alkynes with high regio- and stereoselectively observed in some
cases.
