The hydrosilylation is one of the most important methods for the synthesis of organosilicon compounds. Karstedt's catalyst [Pt n (H 2 C=CHSiMe 2 OSiMe 2 CH=CH 2 ) m ] is a kind of platinum catalyst which is widely used in the hydrosilylation. In this paper, we studied the catalytic activity of Karstedt's catalyst for the hydrogenation of olefins and especially aminated alkenes with trimethoxysilane and triethoxysilane, and demonstrated the excellent performance in terms of the yield and selectivity.
The inside cover picture shows the excellent catalytic performance of Karstedt's catalyst for the hydrosilylation of olefins terminated with various functional groups (amino, alkoxyl, carboxylic, hydroxyl, aldehyde, etc.) with the trimethoxysilane and triethoxysilane reagents in terms of the yield and selectivity. More details are discussed in the article by Gao et al. on page 1227–1230.
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.
