N. Chatani et al., The Co-2(CO)(8)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of oxygen-containing olefins: Silylmetalation as a key step, CHEM LETT, (1), 2000, pp. 14-15
The hydrosilylation of oxygen-containing olefins in the presence of Co-2(CO
)(8) was carried out. The Co-2(CO)(8)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of allyl ac
etate with HSiEt2Me is consistent with proceeding via a silylmetalation mec
hanism rather than a classical hydrometalation (Chalk-Harrod mechanism).
