MnBr(CO)₅: a commercially available highly active catalyst for olefin hydrosilylation under ambient air and green conditions

Abstract

The catalytic hydrosilylation of alkenes is a major industrial reaction and a very efficient and atom-economical way to obtain functional organosilane compounds and cross-linked materials. Platinum-based catalysts are currently preferred...

A Hybrid Benzothiazolyl-NHC Ligand with a Flexible −CH2– Linker and Its Cationic Rh(I) Complex That Catalyzes the Olefin Hydrosilylation

“…Rh-catalysts including some asymmetric ones have also grown with Pt over the years . 3d metals like Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni have also come up as earth-abundant alternatives in recent times with impressive catalytic activity and functional group tolerance under mild conditions . Our recent interest lies in donor-tethered NHCs and CAACs (cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbenes) with a flexible methylene linker between the carbene N-heterocycle and the donor moiety .…”

Hydroboration and hydrosilylation of alkenes catalyzed by an unsymmetrical magnesium methyl complex

“…However, the used catalysts were mainly transition metal complexes. 23–34 Examples of alkaline-earth metal catalyzed hydroboration and hydrosilylation of alkenes are very few. 35–39 Especially for the magnesium catalyst, only a few examples have been reported.…”
