Fe(CO)(5) appeared to be a good catalyst for competitive silylation of olef
ins (vinylsilanes, styrene) by vinylsilanes and hydrosilane (e.g. Et3SiH).
The catalytic measurements for Fe(CO)(5) + Et3SiH system and a stoichiometr
ic study on the insertion of olefin into Fe-Si bond in CpFe(CO)SiMe3 confir
m the mechanism of catalysis involving the first reported beta-silyl transf
er (from carbon of beta-silylethyliron) to iron atom accompanied by dehydro
genative silylation of the olefin. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S
