Fischer carbene complexes undergo mild insertion reactions with organo
silanes to give methoxysilanes in good yields. The effects of catalyst
s, solvents, and metals have been investigated. The insertion reaction
s of alkenyl carbene complexes provide a convenient route for the synt
hesis of allylsilanes.
