The hydrosilylation of deuterated acetylene with triethoxysilane can be directed to the synthesis of either cis or trans triethoxy(vinyl-d 2 )silanes by an appropriate choice of metal catalyst. In addition, we have demonstrated the viability of designing hydrosilylation-arylation sequential processes in which acetylene can be converted into styrenes or stilbenes using the same Pd catalyst for both reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
