Na. Williams et al., PLATINUM-CATALYZED REGIOSELECTIVE ORTHO-SILYLATION OF BENZYLIDENEAMINES VIA INTRAMOLECULAR C-H ACTIVATION, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (11), 1995, pp. 1129-1130
The Pt-P(OCH2)(3)CEt complex catalyses the ortho-silylation of benzyli
deneamines with disilanes via intramolecular C-H activation; both mono
- and bis-silylated products are obtained.
